The Whisperer

Here’s a good way of boosting staff loyalty and licking the opposition. Lucky employees at Ithmaar Bank were treated to ice cream as part a bank-wide employee appreciation initiative.

The initiative by the Ithmaar Bank Social Committee aimed at putting a mid-week smile on employees and, not surprisingly, it was particularly ‘well received’ across the bank.

“We can’t buy employees the smiles they deserve, so we decided to get them the next best thing – ice cream,” said head of Ithmaar Bank human resources, Enas Rahimi. “The idea was to surprise employees with something we know everyone loves.

“It is a small, simple gesture to remind all our employees that we care. We often stress that our employees are our greatest asset, but this a high-level statement that can sometimes be forgotten. Simple reminders like these can go a long way in reminding them how valuable they are.”

GulfWeekly’s Editor has agreed to follow suit with his team (maybe) tomorrow.
