Tatweer is committed to providing employment and career opportunities for Bahraini nationals, who currently account for approximately 63 per cent of the total workforce. Additional recruitment will take place yet in 2011, with the headcount forecast targeted at over 800 people.

The Company places the highest priority on training and development. A total of more than 75,000 hours of training were conducted from 01 January through 30 September 2011. This training covered business (non-technical) and technical areas and included more than 160 special workshops. Training is delivered either in-house locally within Bahrain and overseas by specialist providers. The Company adopted a ‘peer assist’ approach, drawing upon the skills, expertise and experience of staff from Bapco, Occidental and Mubadala to provide knowledge exchange and assistance with problem solving.

The target for training hours is planned to increase in 2012 and priority will continue to be placed on developing Bahrainis to take active roles in every aspect of the Company’s operations and to groom them for positions of increasing responsibility. Tatweer provides opportunities at a trainee level for university and college graduates, including students from the Bahrain Training Institute.

Throughout the Tatweer operation, staff are provided with opportunities for career progression at this very early stage of the Company’s development. Performance is recognized and rewarded as evidenced by a very large number of recognition awards being presented to individuals and teams.
