Alba promotes 199 Bahrainis

MANAMA: Alba, the world’s largest aluminium smelter ex-China, has announced the promotion of 199 national employees across various departments.

These promotions reflect the company’s commitment to develop Bahrainis through customised training and development programmes, enabling them to rise to higher positions, it said.

Based on the Alba Master Training Plan (announced in October 2019), 52 employees were promoted to supervisory and managerial positions whereas more than 147 employees received higher grade promotions within the non-supervisory ranks.

Alba’s chief executive Ali Al Baqali said: “Despite the pandemic, Alba continues to train its people in terms of developing their skills, responsiveness, and agility thus preparing them to lead in the future. We wish them the best as they define their own path while advancing their careers in the company.”

Also recently announced was the Al Jisr Programme, a new training and development initiative that complements the master training plan. It targets Bahraini employees within non-supervisory ranks and provides them with technical and soft skills through a four-year period to be eligible to apply for supervisory vacancies.
