Mashreq demonstrates its ongoing Emiratisation policy with nine key Emirati management appointments

Mashreq, one of the UAE’s leading financial institutions, has underlined its ongoing commitment to Emiratisation by appointing nine new middle managers. The new recruits join an already large and established pool of Emiratis within all key business divisions of the bank, underlining Mashreq’s policy of encouraging Emiratis to reach their full potential in the UAE’s financial sector.

The new joiners have all been personally welcomed by Mashreq’s CEO, H.E. AbdulAziz Al Ghurair, and have taken part in a thorough orientation programme, designed to introduce them to all aspects of Mashreq’s operations. The programme included using role play and demonstrations to underline the strong service standards that Mashreq customers have come to appreciate, the showing and explaining of all Mashreq service streams including Islamic banking and credit card products, and a hands-on demonstration of Mashreq banking processes and operations across all business divisions.

Mashreq's CEO, H.E. AbdulAziz Al Ghurair, said: “We don’t want Emiratis to simply have a job with us – we want them to have a fulfilling career. And we don’t want them to see Mashreq simply as an employer, but as a partner that will give them all the room they need to reach their full career potential. Mashreq continues to record exceptionally strong growth and ongoing record-breaking results. This is down to the commitment, loyalty and technical skills of our staff, of which a large proportion are Emirati.

Al Ghurair added, “I am very pleased to welcome our nine new joiners to the team and I am looking forward to seeing them not only develop into key members of our day-to-day management team, but as part of the bank’s future leadership.”

Mariam Al Ali, Head of Emiratization and Government Relations at Mashreq said: “In addition to maintaining an incredibly supporting and collaborative working environment for all of our staff, we are proud of our orientation systems and ongoing training provision. Our new joiners have already provided excellent feedback about their experience of the training they have received so far and are looking forward to continuing the Mashreq journey in the months and years ahead.”
