Human Resource issues are of growing importance in the Middle East as economies growing on petro-dollars restructure & localize their traditionally heavy expatriate workforce. The oil, gas & petrochemicals sector is no exception to this. Within the next 5 to 10 years, Oil, Gas & Petrochemical companies will face a severe shortage of qualified staff. The average age of staff in this Industry is nearing retirement. While baby boomers near retirement, who takes their place? and How do organizations continue to prosper?
The challenge here is not just to identify the right talent, but to identify & nurture local talent.The trend today is going beyond just recruiting to training, mentoring & writing a career path in order to win the battle on Talent Management.

The 5th Annual HR Strategies conference will take HR to the boardroom, from just being a traditional function to now being a strategic function in the company’s bottom line. With markets showing signs of recovery & more and more projects come on board, HR deals with the post recession challenges and lay offs, by sourcing new talents & making them the future leaders in the Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals sector. The conference also puts a spotlight on Nationalization and developing local talent to match International standards.
