In a related news, SABB's first phase of establishing ladies lounges has been completed with the opening of three lounges at the branches in Kharj, Ras and Tahlia branches in Riyadh. The bank would launch 12 more lounges in the Central, Eastern and Western provinces as part of the first phase of a plan aimed at expanding ladies lounges Kingdomwide. According to Sulaiman Al-Hamdan, deputy managing director of SABB, the project would be completed in phases by 2007.
He explained that 'Customer First Strategy' was the overriding concern of the project that aimed to provide easy access for ladies at every branch of SABB and to expand the framework for distribution of services to all women customers.
"We understand very well the uniqueness of the Saudi society and the best way for delivering our services to the female customers. The lounges will be totally separated from male sections with independent entrances and female staff to assist lady customers," he said. SABB employs the highest per centage of Saudi women staff within the banking sector, and achieved 100 per cent Saudisation in the ladies section, which accounts for 12 per cent of the bank's total staff members.
