On behalf of the Bank, and as a significant participant in this initiative, I would like to express my immense pleasure and pride at the very conception of the idea as we firmly believe in the age old adage that a happy employee is a productive employee and therefore, this endeavour not only exemplifies our commitment towards providing a soothing and free environment that induces increased efficiency and work rate but also, ultimately results in KHCB offering the most innovative and practical products and customer oriented and interactive services that the banking and finance industry in the Kingdom of Bahrain will have on avail."
