Tamkeen Supports the employment of around 120 Bahrainis in GIG Gulf as part of the company’s plan to expand their regional headquarters in Bahrain 
The Labour Fund âTamkeenâ announced its support for GIG Gulf, previously known as AXA Gulf Insurance, towards the recruitment of around 120 Bahrainis. This is in line with Tamkeenâs mandate of empowering individuals to become the employee of choice locally and internationally. GIG Gulf offers talented Bahrainis the opportunity to obtain greater exposure and acquire skills within the insurance industry, boosting their competitiveness. This initiative comes in partnership with the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB), the organization responsible for attracting direct investment into the Kingdom. GIG Gulfâs new regional headquarters in Bahrain Bay was completed in 2020 and continues to serve four different countries within the region. This is evidence of the companyâs successful experience following the initial establishment of operations in Bahrain, which, alongside the Kingdomâs favorable business environment and the availability of experienced local talent, resulted in GIG Gulf increasing its employment and service offerings in the country. The new regional headquarters is home to 250 employees with a 60% Bahrainization rate. GIG Gulf has committed to growing their operations in the Kingdom, which currently hosts several departments including actuarial, finance, human resources, procurement, customer contact center, IT, and a regional training center which supports key business lines
