NBF’s Head of HR, Abdulla Aleter, added: “We are thrilled to have received these awards. All credit goes to the NBF leadership team, managers and employees for their combined commitment to our goal of creating the best working environment. The recognition we continue to receive from such prestigious industry award platforms is testament to our commitment to delivering HR excellence. We are looking forward to continuing this throughout 2018 further cementing NBF’s position as the employer of choice for banking professionals.”
