The Manager of Human Resources and Administration at Saudi Re, Mona Al-Jehani, said: “We aspire to build a strong national talent base that contributes to creating a promising future for the insurance and reinsurance sector through the Future Leaders Programme, which helps trainees to acquire specialised technical knowledge and professional certificates, in addition to developing their practical skills through on-the-job training." Mona Al Jehani also added: “We build on previous successes with the BIBF to lead the programme and apply the highest level of specialised training competencies in the field of insurance and reinsurance.
Manal Mashkoor, Head of the Insurance Centre at the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF), welcomed this new collaboration with «Saudi Re», saying: “We are pleased to continue our partnership with «Saudi Re» in developing the future human capital of Saudi Re and the Saudi insurance market at large which is achieved through scientific assessment and selection of candidates and provision of international training combined with local best practices.
