Sedco Holding, a leading Shariah-compliant organization, will highlight the ‘skills needed in the future workplace’, detailing the current futuristic trends at an upcoming human resources forum in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

In its seventh edition, the Jeddah Human Resources Forum (JHRF) will be held under the patronage of Labour Minister Dr Muffarij Bin Sa’ad AlHaqabani from November 23 to 26.

JHRF tackles the importance of best human resources practices alongside the nationalization of the Saudi business landscape.

“At Sedco Holding, we know the importance of preparing for the future, and not only preparing for it but also anticipating it,” said Amr Banaja, vice-president, Corporate Communications, Marketing & Corporate Social Responsibility.

“We have done this by tailor-making programs that look after the development of skills, innovation and the provision of new technologies for the development of the future work environment.

“Training, skills development and the establishment of an innovative corporate culture should be one of the key priorities of any company, if it aims to grow sustainably. Accepting and molding change is an important life skill. And as a Holding Group we can only prepare ourselves by not only focusing on the development of human resources, but also by synergizing the strategic efforts of all disciplines within the Group in order to cope with our ever changing times,” Banaja added.

The 2015 Jeddah Human Resources Forum is the largest specialized human resources forum in Saudi Arabia, and this year’s forum will review the mechanisms and means supporting the successful experiences of the private sector. – TradeArabia News Service
