The inaugural EMotional Aid workshop saw Burgan Bank partner with Anara and Dr. Kim Dillen, PhD, a neuropsychologist, to empower senior staff with the skills to turn them into emotional wellness champions in the workplace.
Zahra Boarki, the bank's senior manager of internal communication, said the workshop "extends [the bank's] ongoing commitment to instilling mental health as a fundamental pillar of its corporate work culture. Prioritizing our employees’ health and safety stems from our belief that a balanced environment is a catalyst for growth and creativity.
"We are committed to maintaining a robust series of internal events and activities that seek to enrich all aspects of our employees’ lives, bolstering their physical and mental wellbeing at all times."
Graduates from the workshop become emotional wellness champions, allowing them to better cater to their team's personal wellness needs and professional support requests.
