Qatargas holds eighth annual CEO Forums for nationals

These high-level events are attended by all nationals who are in the development and trainee programs of the company, along with their group and department managers, representatives from Human Resources and Training, Supervisors, Coaches and Mentors.

During the forums, individuals are encouraged to raise any issue in a spirit of free and open communication regarding their training and development and to share with management any ideas and suggestions they may have to enhance the current program.

A major theme in each year's forums is the celebration of success. This year, Mr Al-Suwaidi presented special awards to the company's highest achieving trainees, graduates, coaches and to the managers of the best department for promoting "Quality Qatarization".

In a series of presentations, participants were given details of efforts made by the different departments in support of Qatarization and were familiarized with the Company's new National Development Division.

In addition, a number of established employees who have achieved high positions in the Company shared with attendees their career histories and provided advice on how to succeed in one's career.

As with previous Forums, feedback captured during the various sessions will be incorporated into action plans for implementation in the coming period.

This year for the first time, representatives of other sister companies in the oil and gas sector attended the forums to review best Qatarization practices and strategies.

Also, invited were faculty members from the prestigious Tepper School of Business (Carnegie Mellon University) who are partners in delivering the Qatargas Executive Leadership Program.
