Employees taking part in the first phase of the Individual Development Plan (IDP), organised by Ashghal.
DOHA: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has launched a new programme to improve the performance and skills of its Qatari employees.
Eighty-one employees took part in the first phase of the Individual Development Plan (IDP), that will constantly review and assess the employee’s learning and career objectives to identify areas that need improvement.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Saif Al Kaabi, Ashghal’s Human Resources Manager, said the new plan is part of the overall human resources development strategy adopted by Ashghal.
The IDP is designed to guide Qatari employees through a confidential and rigorous process of self-evaluation to develop and improve their skills. Guided by experts, each employee’s self-assessment will be used to rank a set of career paths. After the employee has identified a long-term career goal, the IDP will help them set short-term goals directed towards enhancing skills important for their career development.
The launch event was attended by Engineer Nasser Ali Al Mawlawi, President of Ashghal and representatives of government entities including Rashid Nasser Al Khalifa, HR Assistant Director at the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, Abdul Aziz Saad Al Majali, Manager of Development and Planning Department at the Institute of Administrative Development, Noora Hamad Al Thani, Head of the Planning and follow-up Section at the Institute of Administrative Development, Nawwaf Al Fheida, HR Assistant Director at the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning and Engineer Ahmed Jassim Jolo, Director of the Qatar Society of Engineers.
