In terms of our goals, each Qatari Developee - whether senior staff or non-senior staff - should have a development / progression plan. As mentioned above, these plans are intended to develop Qatari's either to their target positions or to prepare them for advancement within the organization. Each plan is tailored to suit the individual learning pathway.

As part of the development plans, reviews are carried out with every Qatari at least twice a year together with the line manager, plant manager and the On The Job Training Coordinator. These reviews are intended to identify gaps in the development plan, to review progress being made and to agree and effect any changes that may take place in the career plan of the Qatari. All discussions are documented and action plans carried out. We pride ourselves as being hands on when it comes to Qatari development, this means that we listen to what our Qatari colleagues have to say.
