64 November 2015 www.bahrainthismonth.com BBK, Bahrain’s pioneer in retail and commercial banking, has announced the launch of the BBK Alumni Club, an initiative aimed at strengthening relationships and opening lines of communication between the bank and its former employees. Commenting on the initiative, BBK chief executive A Karim Bucheery says: “BBK’s employees have always been an integral part of the bank’s continuous success. They have been the pillars on which BBK has grown to become Bahrain’s leading financial institution. We are certain that they will remain a valuable source of inspiration, guidance and advice and we are pleased to create the BBK Alumni Club to reunite all the family members.” In its journey of success, BBK has continuously invested in its number one asset, the employees, who have been nurtured, trained and developed to become leaders in the banking and financial industry. With a 45-year heritage, BBK has employed nearly 3,500 staffers, whilst achieving a 95 per cent rate of Bahrainisation. The bank has always enjoyed the “One Family” culture and takes pride in the high percentage of loyal employees who have completed 20, 30 and 40 years of service. The BBK Alumni Club will bridge the gap between the bank and former employees through various organised activities. Membership is available to former employees in Bahrain, who meet the required criteria. They have been contacted and invited to join up and the possibility for registration has also been made available on the website www.bbkonline.com/alumni. The formation of the club is another pioneering initiative from BBK as it is the first local bank to introduce an alumni club.
