FAQs

What do you mean when you say “Quality Nationalization”?

This is the need to recruit and develop Qataris to a standard comparable with their counterparts around the world, particularly in view of the increased diversity and complexity of activities in the Energy and Industry Sector in Qatar and the diversity in Qatar’s economy. This will hopefully better prepare Qataris to address both current and future challenges.

Does this plan mean that Qataris will be put into positions faster than before?

This is not the intention. Progress and advancement of Qataris continues to be performance-based. Individuals need to demonstrate that they are able to carry out tasks assigned to them to the required standard, as per the systems and processes currently in place. Competence will not be sacrificed for the sake of numbers. Measures are in place at various stages of the processes of identifying, training, developing and retaining Qataris in the workforce. These are designed to help ensure an assurance of the quality of our Qatari resource.

Is the industry really serious about increasing the percentage of females in the workforce?

Yes, this is a key element of the Strategic Qatarization Plan. Various teams develop and enhance activity areas considered essential to the success of the Plan, and one of these teams is dedicated to the area of Qatari females in the workforce. Emphasis is on both technical and non-technical disciplines where it is seen that Qatari females can best support the business needs.

In the next five years, how can experienced manpower be replaced by inexperienced manpower?

As the majority of Qataris hired are inexperienced, part of the drive of Qatarization places Qataris into entry-level positions, not initially into the more senior positions that require a high degree of experience. Experience will therefore come as the inexperienced Qataris mature and develop over time. Also, recognizing this fact, companies are balancing their Nationalization plans with the need for productivity and efficiency.
