The 4th Annual HR Strategies in Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals 2009 is being held in Qatar, one of the fastest growing centres for the oil and gas industry worldwide. The forum aims to bring together important discussion topics and issues on how to reinvent the Human Resources function to meet the stressful challenges arising in resourcing, retention, organization and leadership development, employee engagement and branding.

It will bring together a vibrant community of HR practitioners at the forefront of change and business leaders that are dedicated to driving changes to prepare their organizations for the key trends shaping the future under the global financial situation and the pressure of merger and acquisition.

The fourth in a series of successful annual forums, the 2009 edition aims to emulate the success of its predecessors by strategically meeting the heavy demands on the HR industry today.

Tel Rashid, Regional Manager for SpenglerFox will participate as a panelist addressing the Greatest Challenge Facing Human Resources and the Skills Shortage:

• How to develop human capital and technological competence
• Improving expertise in unconventional resources: enhanced oil
recovery, deep drilling and tight gas extraction
• Staff training and recruitment of expertise - how to deal with the skills shortage
• Integrating new skills, approaches and behaviours

"We gratefully appreciate Spengler Fox, sponsorship. Since they are one of the largest resourcing solutions providers, the calibre of the event has definitely increased by their involvement," says Mr. Kevin Mohan, Sales Director, Jacob Fleming.
