Bat'hi said. “Leading experts say that in the near future, most global companies will have similar access to technology and financial resources. The key factor which will make them different and signify the key to success of any company in reaching its objectives and realizing its vision will be human capital. Essentially, the success of any global company will depend heavily on its ability to attract, retain, develop and motivate the right global talents. In addition, SABIC aims that such global practice will contribute towards the realization of SABIC's vision of becoming a global leader in the Petrochemical industry, and will further support the achievement of all SABIC's desired objectives related to that vision," he said. "The focus of this year's meeting will be on competing for global talent. SABIC realizes that in order to achieve its global objectives, it must successfully be able to attract and retain the most qualified human talent needed for its business. Accordingly, SABIC is striving to become the global employer of choice of dynamic, ambitious, high potential, and competent human capital." The meeting will also discuss current and future global initiatives and projects aimed at developing a business culture for SABIC based on team work, recognition, linking performance to reward, changing SABIC to a learning and innovative organization, and allowing people to rise to their maximum potential and creativity to achieve their personal career goals while contributing to accomplishment of corporate objectives. The keynote speaker at the conference is Professor William Scott-Jackson, Fellow at St. Cross College, Oxford University (UK) and Director of the Centre for Applied HR Research at Oxford Brookes University Business School.
