Dubai, (IINA) – Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), the largest Islamic Bank in the UAE, has been honoured by the Sharjah Human Resources Department (SHRD) recently for its valuable investment in promoting Emiratisation, Albawaba Business news reported.

The Bank was recognized for its efforts at a ceremony organized by Member of the Executive Council of Sharjah, and Chairman of the SHRD Dr. Tariq Sultan Bin Khadem. Attended by senior leaders from Sharjah and the federal government, as well as heads of businesses from the private sector, the event brought together the SHRD’s strategic partners in order to strengthen ties within the network and promote collaboration towards meeting the Emirate’s human development goals.

DIB has played an important role in supporting the UAE’s Emiratisation strategy by supporting a number of societal and government initiatives, such as organizing several open recruitment days last year in association with the SHRD. At the same time, the Bank has also been an active participant at the annual Sharjah career fairs, where it has provided promising career and professional development opportunities for young Emirati graduates.

Commenting on DIB’s commitment to promoting the growth of UAE Nationals in the private sector, Obaid Al Shamsi, chief of human resources & admin, said: “As the first Islamic Bank in the UAE, we have a longstanding heritage of supporting the development of the local community. Given our efforts in this regard, we are honoured to receive this recognition from the SHRD and see it as a validation of our commitment to promote the economic and the social development of the UAE.”
