Nationalisation is a core part of what we do in the Middle East. We provide our national talent with a suite of development programmes, supporting their career development at all stages, whether they are still in university or in a leadership position; we continuously coach, mentor and transfer knowledge.
In 2022 and beyond we are aiming for a minimum of 10% of our roles to be filled by nationals and are proud to have already achieved over 8% across the region in 2021, despite the challenges brought by the pandemic. Development is key and this year we conducted 236 UAE national talent reviews to identify how to further develop the talent within our business.
