Al Rayan Bank | HR lead reveals engagement strategies during COVID-19

Navigating the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has been a challenge for employers and employees alike.

Whether it is for business leaders who are concerned over how the business can continue trading through these turbulent times, or staff anxieties regarding job security, wellbeing, morale and a plethora of other things, there are many new things that organisations have had to deal with. In fact, Sophie Gulliver, Head of HR at Al Rayan Bank, told HR Grapevine that 2020 has presented many challenges for employers and HR teams. “It’s been a year unlike any other. None of us have worked through a global pandemic before and there’s no best practice to fall back on,” she said. A big challenge for HR departments has been to keep employees engaged and motivated during this tough time. One way that the firm has achieved this is through strong communication channels.
