BankMuscat Hearts Team attends Offsite
Management Programme
Muscat. 23 December 2007. The BankMuscat
Hearts team has recently participated in a
three-day Offsite Management Programme at Jabal
Al Akhdhar, organised by Bin Tamman Modern
Enterprises (BTME) in association with High
Places, India, a specialised company in
corporate training in the outdoors. The
progarmme was the first of its kind in the
Sultanate, which was uniquely designed to
enhance team work and leadership skills through
a set of activities.
Eleven members of the BankMuscat Hearts team
participated in this outdoor programme, which
proved to be beneficial, full of fun, challenge,
adventure and excitement.
Sulaiman Al-Harthy, Deputy General Manager -
Consumer Banking, BankMuscat, said:
“At BankMuscat Hearts, we sincerely believe
that true benefit to society can only happen
through the meaningful partnership of various
interested bodies, be they corporate
organizations, non-government institutions or
concerned individuals. Such courses, we believe,
help members of our Hearts team truly appreciate
this, besides providing them with the
opportunity to discover each others' strings
better."
Inshirah Al Barwani, a member of BankMuscat
Hearts team who participated in the programme,
said:
“The programme helped me to discover my
maximum potential. It provides personal
development opportunity. It gave me something
that I couldn’t learn in a classroom - greater
respect for myself and my abilities. I thank
BankMuscat for providing us with such learning
opportunities.”
The outdoor management development programme is
based on the philosophy of empirical learning.
It has been proven through research that
retention is higher when learning through
experiences. The programme included: Building
effective teams, enhancing leadership, fostering
personal awareness, managing change and creating
and communicating vision.
BTME-High Places has 22 years of experience in
the field of outdoor training and 18 years of
experience in conducting outdoor-based
management development programmes.
BankMuscat Hearts is an internal charity drive
initiative that is responsible for raising funds
and supporting various social causes through the
engagement of BankMuscat employees, so as to
build a culture of voluntary work. The objective
of BankMuscat Hearts is to find ways to ‘give
back to society’ - poor families, the needy, the
unwell and even the environment, by way of
physical and financial contributions. BankMuscat
Hearts plans to continue to conduct charity and
social activities throughout the year.
BankMuscat Hearts will continue to develop their
leadership skills to better reach out and help
the society. |
