DOHA: About 80 percent of human resource mangers believe that on-the-job-training for employees is significant.
It is beneficial for the organisation and the employees, as it helps in skill development and professional growth, a senior official of Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) told a seminar.
The seminar was held under the theme ‘The importance of Human Capital Development in an Organisation’ and its relation to Qatar’s National Vision 2030.
Dr Abdulaziz Al Horr, CEO, QFBA, said: “Human capital development in any company is significant and 80 percent of HR managers believe that training provided to their employees is significant and is greater than that can be determined.
“Human capital development allows untrained employees to gain managerial skills, intellectual capital and technical and professional skills to make the company a strong competitor in the market.”
Leaders and managers from national and international organisations representing the banking and financial sector in Qatar attended.
The seminar aimed to highlight the significance of integrated training development programmes for employees and its role in creating mature, professional and resourceful staff.
It was also attended by Dr Mohammad Al Emadi, Head, Sales and Marketing, QFBA, and the senior management of the academy.
According to Dr Al Horr, the most important factors for training and developing intellectual capital in institutions are direct manager cooperation, senior management cooperation, good system, and employee initiative.
He also discussed training budgets and presented a comparison between training budgets locally and regionally and institutions and companies that have become models for innovation and competitiveness.
He discussed the importance of developing solutions to training obstacles in institutions, including lack of time, direct department managers, weak internal systems, senior management, and budget.
Other illustrations offered were from international companies which have invested in employees and witnessed enormous positive change in a short time.
The QFBA announced the launch of three new categories for the 2015 course calendar, including HR, IT and Sales and Marketing.
Over half the programmes offered at QFBA are internationally certified. The academy is also running a promotion for programme registrations before March 2015.
