The Dubai Human Development Award (DHDA) is open to Dubai-based establishments that invest in national human resources and facilitate their growth and development. The DHDA also salutes organizations that attract and retain talent.
TECOM was commended for excellence in the development of UAE nationals, identifying areas of improvement, and implementing a development plan for national and non-national employees.
In his acceptance speech, Abdullatif Almulla, CEO of TECOM Investments said: "Receiving an award that celebrates human resource development is a clear testament to our success. Emiratisation has always been TECOM's top priority substantiated by that 27 per cent of our employees comprise UAE nationals.
"I'm very proud of this accomplishment as it represents a step forward in our journey towards People's Criteria of Business Excellence Model."
Al Mulla added: "It is also an honour to be selected for this award amongst other outstanding contenders in the industry."
This year's edition of the DHDA includes awards in eight economic sectors including Finance, Construction, Trading, Professional, Tourism, Services, Manufacturing and Semi Public.
Since its inception, it has unveiled a series of initiatives including the six month Mustaqbali programme and Forsaty programme for the recruitment and training of skilled UAE nationals.
