Globally, the telecom landscape is undergoing a huge transition in terms of technology, market, talent crunch and customer demand. Every Telco’s challenge today depends on how we look at this. If we believe that now Telcos have a real opportunity to re-examine their thinking and re-invent the business designs, the real focus should be PEOPLE. Great talent builds great companies. What we do in HR is to help the organization to source, retain and develop talented people who in turn create value for the business.

It is this philosophy and approach that have made HR professionals in GCC Telcos think of creating a common forum - GCC Telecom HR Forum - that took its birth in September 2006 in Doha, Qatar. It is a non- profit professional forum of HR Professionals. Its objective is to create a platform that enables networking, sharing knowledge and experience that benefit all.
