KUWAIT CITY, Sept 23: As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting its human capital, Kuwait Finance House (KFH) celebrated its distinguished employees for the first half of 2024 under the Qadha program. The ceremony, held at the Four Seasons Hotel, was attended by KFH's executive management, represented by Acting Group CEO Abdulwahab Iesa Al Rushood and KFH-Kuwait CEO Khaled Yousef AlShamlan.

Since the program launch, Qadha has continuously awarded outstanding employees. As the umbrella of all other recognition initiatives, Qadha has recently received Brandon Hall’s Gold Medal in the “Best Advance in Employee Recognition Program” in the world.

Qadha program is the first of its kind in the banking sector in Kuwait. Its selection process is based on precise criteria and global studies of performance evaluation, in addition to world-class professional aspects. The program covers all departments and is designed to reward employees for their distinctive hard work on monthly, quarterly, or annual bases.

In his speech, Acting Group Chief Executive Officer, Abdulwahab Iesa Al Rushood, congratulated the honorees for their well-deserved recognition, acknowledging their efforts in the first half of the year, which significantly contributed to KFH’s strong performance and outstanding results.

He said: "We would like to seize this opportunity to extend our congratulations once again to you and the entire KFH family for the successful operations integration with the formerly AUBK. I express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved in this achievement as we embark on a new chapter filled with continued success and milestones. This merger will undoubtedly enhance the KFH’s leadership in the global Islamic banking sector and will bring us closer to our goal of being among the world’s top 100 banks."

Al Rushood added: "At KFH, we are deeply committed to nurturing our human capital and recognizing exceptional talent through the Qadha program. Our ongoing pursuit of excellence and leadership in Islamic banking places a significant responsibility on all of us to maintain our success across all levels. We remain focused on enhancing our services and banking solutions to offer our customers an innovative, seamless experience."

He went on to say: “Today, KFH is leading an advanced phase marked by several key elements, most notably the creative talents like yourselves, the exceptional financial indicators, the increased market share, and enhanced competitive capabilities. The recent merger adds a significant positive dimension to this phase, presenting us all with a historic opportunity to evolve and grow together, positioning us to lead Islamic finance in Kuwait, the region, and the world.”

Al Rushood concluded: "Following KFH’s successful acquisition of AUBK and the commencement of a new phase focused on maintaining growth, advancing business development, and improving operational efficiency, we look forward to your continued dedication and loyalty. We trust that you will uphold the same spirit of commitment to this esteemed financial institution, of which we are proud to be a part."
