Tanmia has been invited to take part in the conference by Etisalat Academy, the premier institution of business and technical training.

Organised under the patronage of H.E. Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri, UAE Minister of Economy, the Conference gathers some of the world's leading HR thinkers and practitioners in a comprehensive platform for benchmarking and networking initiatives. Tanmia, for its part, will leverage the high-profile participation of the event to promote its agenda of Emiratisation and consolidation of the UAE's national job market.

"The participation of our country's nationals in domestic business activities is crucial to sustained economic progress. Their productive role can be achieved through the use of the latest and the best human resource strategies; this event highlights the significance of sound HR practices towards the development of a prepared and highly-skilled Emirati workforce," said H.E. Al Mansouri.

The 7th Annual HR Conference and Expo is designed to facilitate interaction among local and international HR professionals, offering a means to expand global network connections and engage in open dialogues to discuss emerging challenges and best practices. The conference primarily targets HR practitioners but also expects a large delegation from academics, students and others interested in human resources.

"The HR Conference and Expo brings together the world's most prominent personalities in human resource and other related fields. This will definitely be an excellent opportunity to generate and exchange new ideas to improve the competitiveness of the UAE's national job market. Tanmia is pleased to support and be part of this event, which we believe contributes significantly to boosting the quality and competency of the country's manpower reserve,"


concluded Feddah Lootah, Acting General Manager, Tanmia.

Offering an opportunity to learn from top-level executives and international speakers, the conference will tackle a wide range of topics such as new ideas on employee loyalty and retention, leadership, employee learning and development, alignment of HR practices with overall business strategies, a corporate culture of employee engagement, and an effective model for change that will transform people's performance.
