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.
Matthew Santaspirt, Sales and Market Development Director for EMEA for Wiley says,” Innovation is key as it helps HR professionals reach more individuals and adapt their training to continually evolving learning styles. Innovation allows us to create more meaningful learning pathways, and learning communities for individuals to share their knowledge and expertise.”
Sidh N C, Director, QnA International, agrees, “The Middle East and North Africa region’s spending on E-learning programs, alone is projected at USD 560.7 Million and it is obvious that the priority is on developing the talent pool with different learning programs, which is why organizations like CrossKnowledge have lapped up the opportunity to be a part of the Gov HR Summit.”
