Alturki Holding, a Saudi investment and development holding company, has launched a comprehensive training and development program to address the current and future training needs of its more than 6,000 employees within the company and across its group of companies. The program — “Hemmah” — also aims to attract and retain the Kingdom’s best local talent.
President and CEO of Alturki Holding Rami Alturki said: “As Alturki builds on its legacy of sustainability, we remain steadfast in our commitment to contributing to the success of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Hemmah underscores the importance we place on investing in our people and in shaping a workplace culture that, with learning and development at its core, will positively impact our employees, our businesses and support socioeconomic progress in the community, industry and in our nation.”
Hemmah, which means resilience or strength through adversity, has four core sub programs: Qaddah, Khabeer, Tuwaiq and Tamakan.
Qaddah is designed to prepare high-performing employees to assume leadership positions in the company and further enhance the skills of the company’s current leadership team. Khabeer aims to enhance and upgrade core skills and improve organizational efficiency through development opportunities and skills development, while Tuwaiq is designed to attract and retain highly talented Saudis and provide them with opportunities to develop and grow within the group of companies. Tamakan is designed to ensure that every Alturki employee is empowered with the basic competencies necessary to not only maximize their efficiency but to allow them to reach their full career potential.
The program is being led by Alanoud Al-Semaeil, support services manager at Alturki Holding, and supported by Tom Raftery, a senior HR consultant, who brings nearly 40 years of experience in senior line HR. They will provide all employees, regardless of their nationality, a comprehensive range of training and development opportunities to help them grow and take on more responsibilities.
Al-Semaeil said: “Hemmah is designed to address the development needs of all of our employees and to shape a corporate culture of continuous learning. Towards this goal, Hemmah is designed to bring the full potential of our team to life by providing every employee with more opportunities to grow their skills and capabilities and acquire new knowledge.”
CEO Alturki added: “Our employees are the reason we have sustained our business for over 40 years and they are the key to our future success. Learning and development has always been important to Alturki but in today’s digital economy, where knowledge becomes outdated very quickly, it is vital to business success. In order to address the need to constantly adapt, we are making continuous learning and development the standard at Alturki, providing each and every team member with ongoing opportunities to gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the digital age.”
