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. |

The forum meets 3 times a year and meetings are held in different GCC countries
on rotation basis. In the last 1 and half years, it has held 5 meetings and made
tremendous progress in building a strong network of GCC Telecom HR professionals.
The patronage the forum gets from the Telecom management is amazing and it stands
out as solid example of how best we can complement each other and creates value
by sharing experience and expertise. Our ultimate mission is to develop this into
a Middle East forum encompassing all Telecom operators. Eventually it should create
centers of excellence in all HR discipline, uphold knowledge leadership, leverage
synergy and be able to advise authorities on people management related legislations
and practices and also enhance quality of professional education in the field of
Human capital management.
