Emiratisation at ADCB

With more than 40% of our staff being UAE nationals, ADCB’s Emiratisation strategy has been recognised with Best Emiratisation Awards for the past four years. Helping drive our success is the Emarati Academy, which aims to ensure that high school and university graduates are fully prepared for branch or departmental roles, with the necessary knowledge and training to equip them for success.

MAHARA is an Emirati Academy program that familiarises UAE national trainees with ADCB-specific conventional and Islamic individual and corporate banking products and services, in the context of the UAE financial services industry.

In 2014, ADCB launched ‘Tamooha’, a new employment initiative for Emirati women offering flexible working arrangements. ‘Tamooha’ is the first of its kind initiative in the Middle East banking sector, and is part of ADCB’s ambition to promote Emiratisation at various levels in line with the directives of the UAE’s leadership, creating an appropriate environment for Emirati women to help them achieve their ambitions to lead a successful career path in financial services

Diversity

Assembling a diverse workforce enables ADCB to strengthen our connections and relationships with customers. Our staff now represents 62 different countries and speaks a multitude of languages and dialects. At the same time, we continue our success with our Emiratisation initiatives and encouragement to promote women into leadership positions including our Tamooha programme.

Rewards & Benefits

Our rewards and benefits are designed to provide enough financial security for our employees in order to help them focus on high-quality performance and continuous improvements. We benchmark ourselves against industry best practices on a regular basis. All employees have medical insurance, and many are entitled to an education allowance that assists with children’s schooling costs.
