1 FI Speak Out When do you feel
engaged at work?

Mona Shah

HR Coordinator

For me, I feel fully engaged when I become so
eager to go to work because I know that
something great is going to happen. It’s being
in a work place that gives me opportunity to
maximize my potentials. It’s being in a working
environment that upholds collectivism and
injects an element of fun in achieving corporate
goals. I am happy I am in one! Thank you
Choithrams Group.

responsibilities, deadlines, meetings and so
many things. Even with my busy schedule I
find time to chat with my team get to know
them; ask about their challenges; appreciate
them of any good things they have done or
just simply laugh with them. I do this because
that’s when I feel I am engaged at work. I
believe that work place should always feel
like your second home.

ENGAGED 
Highlights  of the Megamart Bahrain Employee Engagement.

“To win in the marketplace you must first win in the workplace.”

-Doug Conant, CEO of Campbell’s Soup
What makes a good employee? When do you say that an employee is the best? How do you characterize an
outstanding employee?

For sure, many of you will have a plethora of answers to these questions. After all, we always want to have the
best so we can be the best.

The bigger question is, how do we get a hold of these type of employee pedigree? If you have them already, how
do you make sure you get to keep them in your team?

Employee Engagement is one of the best ways to attract and maintain quality employees. It brings about positive
behavior and affirmative attitude from employees, eventually leading to a collective and harmonious work
environment.

On February 2017, Megamart Bahrain sponsored series of engagement activities for retail, office and warehouse
staff. An estimated 300 Megamart Bahrain employees participated in different activities that showcased their
skills and their untapped potentials.

Here are the highlights of the 2017 Bahrain Employee Engagement.
