“Wow, I was amazed but happy for him and encouraged him.
“One of our staff members got a higher role in the bank and was about to be moved to another department. Idris came to me and told me he was qualified and interested in the ‘would be vacant position’. My interest was piqued. Nothing gets me more than people’s development especially my team members.
“I got in touch with the recruiting department for that vacancy, the aptitude test for that role was scheduled for him, an interview was conducted, he passed all and was given an offer all within a week.
“The picture showed us together on his last day as a security guard on FRIDAY and his First day inside the branch the following MONDAY”
