The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) announced its support for the wage increment of 25 Bahraini employees at Gulf Hotels Group (GHG) – the leading hospitality management company in Bahrain.
In addition, five employees have been enrolled in the Leadership Employment Programme, aiming to advance the career development of national talent within the group.
This programme comes in alignment with Tamkeen’s 2024 strategic priorities focused on economic impact and the private sector under three pillars: increasing economic participation through new employment opportunities for new entrants, expanding career development opportunities available to Bahraini workforce, and further developing the private sector by supporting enterprises and boosting productivity and adoption of technology.
Khalid Al Bayat, chief growth officer at Tamkeen, said that fostering the growth of enterprises in the hospitality sector is part of Tamkeen’s ongoing efforts to drive positive economic impact. The sector provides promising employment opportunities for local talent and enhances their practical and technical skills.
Al Bayat added: “At Tamkeen, we strive to support the growth and career progression of national talent in the private sector through various training and wage support programmes. We are committed to strengthening our partnerships with private sector enterprises that believe in investing in their national workforce and providing them with career development opportunities, thereby achieving the shared developmental objectives.”
GHG chief executive Ahmed Janahi said: “Tamkeen’s career development support programmes have had a significant impact on enhancing our national talent, positively reflecting on their performance and productivity. Thanks to the Wage Increment Programme, we were able to support 25 Bahraini employees across various departments. Additionally, the Leadership Employment Programme has helped identify and develop leadership figures capable of taking on greater responsibilities and achieving the company’s strategic goals.”
