BisB implements additional Health & Safety measures during COVID-19

In light of the pre-emptive steps and measures taken by the Kingdom of Bahrain to reinforce and protect human rights within the framework of combating the spread of COVID 19, Bahrain Islamic Bank (BisB) demonstrated its complete commitment to supporting its employees during this time, by placing the health and safety of its team as a first priority.



Ms. Afnan Ahmed Saleh, Chief Human Resources and Administration at BisB said, "We consider our employees' health and safety a top priority, and we continuously strive to support them during this period of uncertainty. In light of this, we launched a series of initiatives to ensure a seamless flow of the work, implementing an effective work-from-home policy, to enable most employees to work remotely as required. We are proud that 88% of our employees were able to work remotely. We reached a percentage norm of 60% of employees working from home at any given time. We offered all the necessary safety precautions across BisB's buildings and facilities by practicing social distancing, through limiting the number of customers waiting inside the Bank's premises at any time with reduced working hours across branches. We have also placed protection shields between the customers and staff.
