Alba's HR investment highlighted at Bahrain event

MANAMA, November 11, 2014

A case study on Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) titled ‘HR as a Business Partner’ was presented at a top human resource development event in Bahrain by  a top Alba official.

Tim Murray, chief executive officer, was the key speaker at the annual seventh HRD Congress which concluded on Tuesday (November 11), under the theme ‘Evolving HR function as a Business Partner.’ Alba was also the silver sponsor of this event.

Murray highlighted topics including ‘Alba investing in human assets’; ‘Alba is in the people business’; ‘Alba strides in safety initiatives’; and safe employees and productive Alba.
 
“At Alba, people are our most valuable resource. We believe that it is important to invest in educating and training the workforce, which will improve employee capabilities and organisational competences. It is also a key part of our succession planning, which is necessary to develop the future generations of leaders at Alba,” said Murray.

“Safety is the other principal factor that governs Alba’s day-to-day operations. We believe that a strong safety programme and the successful financial performance of the Company are closely linked. We constantly endeavour to achieve a zero accident work environment through various safety campaigns and awareness sessions, which has resulted in significant improvement in the overall safety performance of the Company, as well as its productivity,” he said.

The event targeted HR directors, senior managers, project managers, line managers, training managers, HR specialists and line supervisors from government and private sectors.

It focused on three core areas: ‘Building A Value-Based Organisation’; ‘Technology Drivers for the New World of HR’; and ‘Competency and Talent Mapping in Employee Development.’

The event also has an exhibition, which is a platform for companies to network and exchange ideas and experiences of the participants and their respective organisations as well as showcase products, trainings, IT solutions and services. - TradeArabia News Service
