Ahli United Bank honours top staff pacesetters

Ahli United Bank held an award ceremony to honour the winners of the first edition of innovate@AUB. The initiative aims at engaging employees in driving innovation and empowering them to ideate and test new solutions to support organic growth and better deliver on customers’ needs and expectations.

AUB’s Group CEO & Managing Director Adel El-Labban congratulated the six winning finalists at the event held at AUB’s headquarters in Bahrain in conjunction with parallel ceremonies beamed live by video conferencing from sister banks in Kuwait, Egypt and the UK. Launched earlier in the year, ‘innovate@AUB’ is an ongoing and open opportunity platform for all AUB staff to present new ideas and approaches which have the potential to transform the way AUB does business and serves customers.

The first edition attracted over 90 entries from across AUB’s regional network, with six proposals making it to the winning podium. Addressing attendees at this pan-Group event, El-Labban said: “As an idea-driven bank, it is exciting to recognise forward-thinking colleagues who are driving positive change and moving AUB forward.

All participants are winners through their pro-active contribution.” “This initiative is part of AUB’s ongoing plans to remain financially agile and digitally relevant as we continue to build on our strengths in adapting to the ever-changing banking landscape and in staying ahead of the competitive and technological curve,” said El-Labban.
