Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), a leading aluminium smelter, honoured its female employees at a ceremony held recently to mark Bahraini Women’s Day.

The event, held at the Banyan Tree Resort, was attended by over 90 female employees, members of the executive management and representatives of the Alba Union.

“Since it began operations, Alba’s female employees have been one of the main contributors to production process in different sections and departments,” said Mahmood Hashim Al Kooheji, chairman of Alba.

“It is with pride that we can say that our female employees have the same rights and obligations as men,” he added.

“Efficiency is the main standard by which we measure our employees’ performance, and it has enabled women to be leaders who are a source of pride for us among industrial organisations.”

The event also included an award ceremony for long service employees, followed by distribution of gifts to the employees and lunch with the chairman. – TradeArabia News Service
