Qatargas employees who were honoured at the Annual Qatargas CEO Forum 2012
Qatargas’ chief executive officer, Khalid bin Khalifa al-Thani, has urged young nationals working in the company to excel in their careers, expand their competence, build self-confidence and improve job performance by making the best use of the excellent learning and professional development opportunities available to them.
He was speaking to young national graduates and trainees at the 11th Annual Qatargas CEO Forum 2012 held recently under the theme ‘Aim High to be the Best’. The Forum focuses on the development of Qatargas’ Qatari National employees, and provides updates on the company’s Qatarisation programme. It also provides the opportunity to highlight and discuss concerns or issues related to training, education and development of nationals and collectively explore solutions.
At the start of the event, the chief executive officer reminded the participants on the importance of adopting safety as a core value and adherence to safety rules and regulations which is deeply embedded in the Qatargas work culture. There was also a separate presentation on road safety.
Commenting on the event, Khalid bin Khalifa al-Thani said: “Qatargas is committed to attract, develop, motivate and retain qualified nationals to reach our Qatarisation targets. As we move ahead in our journey towards becoming the world’s premier LNG company, our national employees have important roles to play, not only in the future of Qatargas, but in our country’s future. As envisaged in the Human Development pillar of the Qatar National Vision 2030, and under the guidance of HE Dr. Mohammed bin Saleh al-Sada, Minister of Energy & Industry and Chairman of Qatargas, the development of our national workforce is a top priority at Qatargas.”
During a question and answer session at the end of the forum, employees had the chance to field questions or raise concerns directly to the chief executive officer. The CEO also presented awards to the best graduates and trainees for their outstanding performance in 2011. The coaches who excelled in training and mentoring national employees were also honoured by the CEO.
