HSBC has been progressing its Qatar Nationalisation strategy by leveraging the bank’s unique employee value proposition to attract and retain the best young Qatari talent. Over the last six months, the Nationalisation team attended career fairs across the country to promote the variety of opportunities offered by HSBC to the growing pool of young, talented Qatari graduates.
“One of the four pillars of HSBC’s strategy is to ‘Energise for Growth’, which at its heart means creating a dynamic culture where the best people want to work,” said Shamsa Al Fahd (pictured), Head of Human Resources at HSBC Qatar. “We offer a unique working experience that has many opportunities for learning, travelling and growing locally and internationally.”
“Aspiring employees are impressed by the bank’s progressive approach to hybrid working and achieving a sustainable work and life balance for our colleagues,” Shamsa added. “We place great value on employee wellbeing and have different employee resource groups to support colleagues across all areas of working life. We believe in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, where everyone is valued and respected.”
“We work closely with the Ministry of Labour to ensure alignment with the country’s National Vision 2030 programme and its commitment to building and promoting Qatari talent. We appreciate the Ministry’s ongoing efforts and plans in providing a strong pipeline of young talent to enter the job market,” Shamsa added.
The sponsorship programme offers students a monthly salary while studying and an opportunity to gain valuable work experience and develop their skills.
“This initiative is a part of our ongoing commitment to supporting Qatari nationals and investing in the development of local talent in the banking industry,” said Hussain Al-Sharshani, Head of Nationalisation at HSBC Qatar.
