Towers Watson launches January Talent and Reward Academy

The global professional services company has seen a steep increase in the number of companies in the region wanting to improve their key HR programs, including Reward and Talent management. As a result it is hosting Talent and Reward Academy events throughout January to provide insight into the most effective ways of nurturing and rewarding talent.

The Towers Watson Academy will host a series of generalist programmes, including Job Evaluation and Talent Management Training, as well as more specialist sessions on topics such as Employee Engagement and Long-term Incentive Design. Each programme is designed for varying levels of experience and will be delivered by Towers Watson's local and regional experts.

Ahmad Waarie, Managing Consultant for Towers Watson Middle East, said: "Talent management and reward are key tools in successfully running any modern business. In this region particularly it is becoming essential for ensuring that certain departments have at least a basic knowledge of the key elements that make up talent and rewards incentives. Our Academy was born out of the increasing requirement for HR professionals to understand how best to apply talent and reward to their own company's structure and use it effectively and confidently for the benefit of employees and employers."

The Talent and Reward Academy will commence on 21 January 2013, with all programmes taking place at Towers Watson's office in Dubai Media City.
