Bupa Arabia for Cooperative Insurance recently launched the “Bupa Arabia Challenge 2018” to promote creative problem-solving skills among Saudi youth so as to prepare them for the health care industry.
Each of the participants were assigned a unique case study under the “Digital Transformation Strategy” to test their potential in building a successful digital approach.
“This initiative reflects Bupa Arabia’s passion to attract, retain and develop the best talent in the country in order to raise the bar in performance and offered services,” the company said in a press statement.
The two-week challenge allowed students from Effat University, Dar Al-Hekma University and University of Business and Technology (UBT) to form work groups and craft innovative ideas in digital customer experience.
Following a strong competition between the teams, Dar Al-Hekma University won this year’s challenge and the possibility of getting their ideas implemented at Bupa Arabia.
Tariq Al-Amoudi, chief human resources officer at Bupa Arabia, said: “The launch of this challenge confirms our commitment to develop and invest in local talent. We are working hard to nurture them from their early start to master today’s cutting-edge technology and improve overall competencies, all while maintaining the highest quality of standards and services delivered to our clients.”
The winning team was awarded a shield of appreciation and the students will be included in the Future Leaders Program, which aims to attract fresh Saudi graduates in the company’s various disciplines by equipping them with the right tools and skills across the health care industry in Saudi Arabia.
“Bupa Arabia congratulates the winning team and expresses its appreciation to all participants, the university’s administration and the judging panel for their efforts and favorable feedback,” the company said.
