Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar’s leading Islamic Bank, has announced that it is the Diamond sponsor of the International Conference on Investment in Human Resources, which is organized by Ibhar Academy. The event is taking place at the Sheraton Doha Hotel on May 4, 2016 under the theme “Building Human Capital Comes First.”

The purpose of the conference is to underline the impact of health, education and development on the success of societies. Developing human resources and building their capacities, starting from health, education, and social interaction are considered key elements to achieve the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030. These elements are also essential for building human capital, for every institution and organization.

During the conference, experts and specialists will discuss 12 topics related to investment in human resources, including healthcare, education, development of human performance professionally and academically, modern training and development trends, and the role of society in building human capacity. The conference will also address training requirements for career development and the importance of online training for the public and private sectors as well as means of maximizing the potential of human resources.

“We are pleased to support this important event that acknowledges human capital in our industry as well as seeks to ensure further diversification and growth in the sector through the development and promotion of human capital, in line with Qatar National Vision 2030”, said Mr Khalefa Al Mesalam, QIB Head of Human Capital Group.

“As a leading financial institution, we place strategic emphasis on education and the nurturing of talent and believe this event is well in line with our commitment to develop human capital. Therefore, we at QIB operate in accordance with a strategy that focuses on implementing comprehensive and high-quality training programmes based on the latest developments in the industry”, added Mr. Al Mesalam.

One of the main priority areas of QIB’s strategy is human capital development. QIB has already made strides towards the goal of developing human capital in the banking industry in Qatar. QIB has continuously been at the forefront of Qatarisation initiatives through its ongoing Qatari professional development programmes which have been running for the past few years and has seen scores of academic scholarships and training courses granted to professional Qataris in the banking industry.
