Sharjah24: In alignment with our commitment to prioritizing the wellbeing of our most valued asset - our employees, Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB) is delighted to announce an expansive health initiative, "Your Health.. Your Wealth".
The event, held at Al Khan headquarters, was facilitated in collaboration with esteemed institutions such as the Associations of Kidney Patients, Diabetes, Friends of Breastfeeding, the Saudi German Hospital, Al Dalil Medical Center, and the Health Promotion Department in Sharjah.
This campaign underscores the SIB’s dedication to fostering a robust and healthy work environment, conforming to established health and safety protocols. We are consciously working towards advancing our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibilities, recognizing the significant role of employee wellbeing in our sustainable growth.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Hassan Al Balghouni, Head of Corporate Communications at Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB), shared, “The initiative stems from our dedication to fostering a culture of health awareness. Through this initiative, we aim to advocate for routine health check-ups and foster awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.”
Mr Hassan Al Balghouni added: "The Health Day focussed on promoting health literacy among employees, providing them with resources to understand and adopt healthier habits. It emphasizes the significance of nutritious eating and regular physical activity in averting obesity and chronic diseases. This, in turn, contributes to the employees' optimal performance, enhancing their job satisfaction, and overall productivity".
He stressed that this initiative is an integral part of our strategy to acknowledge our employees' hard work. It highlights our commitment to fostering an environment where our employees feel valued and take pride in their contributions.
Comprehensive Medical Consultations and Examinations
Among the services offered during the Health Day were blood sugar and blood pressure tests, cholesterol check-ups, body mass assessments, initial dental check-ups, dermatological consultations, and various other medical examinations.
Broadening the Scope of the Initiative
To ensure comprehensive healthcare access to all our employees, a similar event was organized at our Maliha Street branch. The goal was to encourage healthier lifestyle choices, thereby impacting national health indices positively, in line with the UAE's vision.
A Catalyst for Employee Engagement and Leadership
The Health Day was met with overwhelming appreciation from the employees who perceived it as a testament to SIB’s commitment to their wellbeing. The involvement of skilled medical specialists and consultants added further value to the initiative. Our employees found this initiative encouraging and motivating, fortifying their commitment to the Bank's mission.
For an optimal experience, please
