Navila Amin Director, DEI and Culture, e&
It is a real honor for us to have won this award here at the Middle East Management Excellence Awards. I think it reinforces the work that we’ve been doing and have started to do within DEI—so as we go and look to attract talents into our organisation, I think something like this is really great to showcase and say, 'Look, these are the two topic areas that really inspire people to join the organisation,' and hopefully, it will bring in brilliant people to the organisation.
Navila Amin Director, DEI and Culture, e&
Hassan Trad Group Learning & Development Manager, Finance House
We are very happy that we won the award, and we believe that we are capable of doing more than that as well. There are many awards that we can achieve. We have a very talented team, a very wise and capable leadership when it comes to senior management, and there is no reason why not to get more. We are very excited; this gives us a push to do better.
