Jacob Fleming's 'Managing Local Talent' to be held in October, Qatar

However, the current economic situation threatens to undermine the hard-won gains of the nationalisation effort. With companies focusing more on cost - cutting, downsizing and consolidating, the need of the hour is the correct identification, retention and skill set development of the top national employees.

Jacob Fleming is proud to announce the "Managing Local Talent" conference, held in Doha-Qatar on 5-7 October 2009, a three-day Conference & workshop programme, featuring regional and international leaders in the HR profession from GCC region.

The event is crafted with the support of our distinguished panel of advisors who are experts in the field of nationalization. HR practitioners, advisors, academics, consultants and industry experts will come together to speak about and study nationalisation from all angles and find realistic solutions through key note presentations, case studies, speaker panel discussions and scenario based problem solving sessions, like: Current Nationalisation Initiatives in the GCC, how to implement an Effective Nationalisation Plan, Practical Techniques for Proper Assessment and Recruitment, Coaching and Mentoring Programmes for the Integration and Retention of Nationals, potential of the National Women workforce, the role of Education in Nationalisation.

"Jacob Fleming conferences bring in high level senior industry people who are carefully selected and invited so that the relevance of topics are ensured and business opportunities exists for all involved. The strongest point of our events has been format of conference which allows good interaction between the participants. Moreover the events being non vendor driven never fail to provide the attendees, a true knowledge sharing experience,"
