Following the success of its initial cohorts, Bank Islam (M) Berhad, in collaboration with MindSpring, has continued to expand its groundbreaking Middle Managers Leadership Program. In October 2024, three additional sessions of the Transforming Work to Worship (WTW) program were conducted, focusing on a new group of participants from middle management.
These sessions, held on 15, 17, and 22 October 2024, maintained the program’s core objective of integrating Islamic principles into professional roles while tailoring the content to address the unique challenges and responsibilities of middle managers.
Key highlights of the October sessions include:
- Customized Content: The program was adapted to meet the specific needs of middle management, ensuring relevance to their daily responsibilities and leadership challenges.
- Expanded Reach: By targeting a different segment of middle management, Bank Islam demonstrates its commitment to fostering Islamic values across various levels of leadership within the organization.
- Continued Success: The expansion of the program to include these additional sessions reflects the positive impact and demand for the Transforming Work to Worship initiative.
The October sessions maintained the program’s focus on creating a work environment characterized by Sakinah (peace and tranquility), emphasizing personal accountability, nurturing a supportive atmosphere, and encouraging compassionate leadership.
As with previous cohorts, participants engaged in interactive discussions, practical exercises, and reflective activities designed to help them apply Islamic principles in their daily work lives. The program continued to cover key areas such as ethics, financial stability, and sustainability, all within the context of Islamic finance and middle management responsibilities.
By investing in the development of its middle managers through these additional sessions, Bank Islam further solidifies its position as a leader in Islamic banking, setting new standards for leadership that balances professional excellence with Islamic values.
The success and expansion of the Transforming Work to Worship program underscore Bank Islam’s ongoing commitment to nurturing a workforce that embodies Islamic principles in their professional lives. As the program continues to evolve and reach more levels of management, it promises to create an even more harmonious, purpose-driven, and spiritually fulfilling work environment across the organization.
