Kuwait Finance House (KFH) has initiated a comprehensive “Leadership Cultural Training Programme” as a cornerstone of its post-acquisition strategy. The ongoing programme, themed “Bringing Our Values to Life,” is designed to cultivate a unified corporate culture and empower employees to embody the group’s new brand values.

This strategic initiative marks a pivotal moment in the Group’s transformation, following a historic acquisition that has established KFH as one of the largest Islamic banking entities in the world. The programme is tailored to align all staff, beginning with leadership, with the core principles and ambitious vision of the newly integrated organization.

The training programme is focused on embedding KFH’s core values of being Open, Brave, and Imaginative, while upholding the foundational Islamic principles of integrity and transparency. The initiative aims to create a cohesive and dynamic work environment that will propel KFH Group towards its goals.

“As we embark on this transformative journey, fostering a shared culture is paramount to our success,” said Dr. Shadi Zahran, Group CEO of KFH – Bahrain. “This programme is more than just training; it’s an investment in our people and the future of our organisation. By empowering our team with a unified vision and a strong set of values, we are building a solid foundation for innovation, excellence, and sustainable growth. Our collective commitment to these principles will be the driving force behind our ambition to lead the global Islamic finance industry.”

Dana Bukhammas, the Group Head of Human Resources Transformation and Development, stated, “Transformation begins with people. When organizations prioritize the people agenda in their journey, they unlock new heights of success. We are dedicated to driving change by placing our people at the heart of everything we do. We take immense pride in our team and their remarkable ability to lead this transformation and realize our shared vision. Adding to our confidence, as part of KFH Group, we are proud to have received nine international awards from the Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards 2025 in the Human Resources field, and one of them is the Golden Award for Employee Experience during the acquisition.

The Cultural Training Programme is being rolled out across the organisation, with all employees set to participate. This inclusive approach ensures that every member of the KFH team is a key participant in this new chapter of the bank’s history.
