As employer of choice, Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), recently sponsored the Oil and Gas Semi Annual HR Meeting held in Dubai on January 18, 2007.
Focusing on talent management and Emiratisation, the conference served as a forum to discuss issues and HR practices with other big names from the oil and gas industry.
Representing ENOC, Yusr Sultan, Chief Executive, Shipping, Terminalling and LPG explained, “This year, ENOC’s focus is on talent management. In today’s climate, attracting and retaining talent has become an ever-increasing challenge faced by many companies.”
“As the strength behind our organisation, employees at ENOC are nurtured and developed to reach their full potential. We have developed a dedicated and passionate HR division fully committed to talent management”, he added.
Highlighting another key cause, Sultan said, “Emiritisation is an ethos close to our hearts. With UAE Nationals comprising 20 percent of ENOC employees, we are proud to play a crucial role in the vision of H.H Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum to create strong growth opportunities for Nationals in the workplace.”
Mohammed Al Kharusi, ENOC’s Group Human Resources Manager, shared with the audience ENOC’s strategies to recruit and retain its talent pool, while connecting it to fundamental strategic business decisions and goals.
“Our ultimate objective is to ensure that ENOC continues to remain an employer of choice,” Al Kharusi emphasised.
Dr. Ali bin Abdullah Al Ka’abi, the Minister of Labour, was the special guest speaker and he highlighted the challenges of breaking the current stereotype to produce and develop the kind of Emiratis required by the UAE business sector. |
