Job Promotion

Al Rajhi bank is keen on encouraging a career development of its own staff. To support this, Al Rajhi bank has adopted a development policy based on:

1. Career path planning.
2. Evaluation of individual performance.
3. Training.

Human Resources, Training Center and other departments have created a system to develop the staff by giving them opportunities to demonstrate their skills in different jobs. Support is given through training courses and on- job training (OJT). Every Al Rajhi bank employee is encouraged to show good performance and conduct to develop his career.

This process is aimed at encouraging the value added performance at work based on set of objectives, identifying strengths and areas for improvement of the employee, his training needs and plan for career development. Direct supervisors undertake preparation of evaluating reports for all employees who work under them and discussion of these reports with the staff. Formal evaluation of an employee takes place twice a year. The Department of Human Resources & Development (HRD) has prepared a guide on this evaluation system as a reference for those seeking further details.

Training is considered to be important for all employees of the bank. As an employee is promoted to a higher position, he needs more training to cope with new responsibilities and systems. Therefore, upgrading his skills and capabilities will help him meet his new mission. The training center is the main source of training. The center’s goals are summarized as follows:

• To determine training needs for banks’ departments and job upgrading plans for employees.
• To give employees appropriate and effective training from the Training Center and other specialized training providers.
• To ensure continual development of employees in line with Al Rajhi bank requirements, in general, and its departments’ requirements in particular.
• To help Al Rajhi bank design and develop career paths for employees based on their ability and behavior.
