Qatar Insurance Group (QIC Group, QIC), the leading insurer in Qatar and the MENA region, successfully hosted the “Little Employee Initiative,” welcoming 58 staff children aged 7 to 15 to the workplace for a day filled with engaging and educational activities.
The “Little Employee Initiative” is a collaborative effort with the Qatar Career Development Center (QCDC), founded by the Qatar Foundation (QF) and is in its 4th iteration. The program continues to empower young minds by exposing them to various professional fields, thereby sparking their interest in future careers and instilling a sense of responsibility and work ethic.
The activities were designed to provide the young visitors with a glimpse into the daily operations of the staff at QIC, fostering a greater understanding of insurance and appreciation for the work among families, while also offering a unique and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Throughout the day, children were guided on educational tours to learn about the work of different departments, engaged in creative activities, and spent time with their parents or relatives to understand their roles better. The day concluded with each child receiving a certificate, commemorating their participation and learning experience.
Mr. Rashid Al-Buainain, QIC Group Chief Administrative Officer, expressed his delight at the event’s success, stating, “The ‘Little Employee Initiative’ is a fantastic opportunity for our young visitors to gain insight into the insurance industry and appreciate the hard work and dedication of our staff.
