The challenges faced by the HR function of the public sector are considerably different from the private sector, especially in the MENA region where the strength of youth workforce is fast outpacing the count of government sector jobs. So a major focus is on developing the necessary skills for the youth through different techniques.
Under the theme of “Putting people first : Driving innovation to achieve Human Excellence”, the 3rdAnnual Gov HR Summit, being held from the 27th-29thOctober, 2015 at the Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal addresses such challenges by bringing forth regional success stories of excellence along with expertise and insights from leading HR services partners. CrossKnowledge, a Wiley brand has confirmed their participation as a platinum sponsor for the Summit.
