With Saudi Arabia launching its ambitious Vision 2030 program, driving economic diversification    has now been recognized as the number one priority. Policy makers and industry experts agree that in order to achieve desired results on this front, Saudi Arabia needs to focus on managing available local talent in the most effective way possible.

The 5th Annual Human Kingdom Asset Management conference to be held on the 14th and 15th of March 2017 in association with Amrop Saudi Arabia, seeks to explore current opportunities and address key challenges in developing, managing and engaging human capital in the region. With the Kingdom undergoing a significant transformation on both social and economic fronts, the conference focuses on evolving industry needs and establishing innovative thought leadership in the human resources industry.

“Saudi Arabia’s ambitions as articulated in Vision 2030 are deeply entrenched in change - a structural change in the basic ways the Saudi market functions.  The role of the Human Resources professionals in Saudi Arabia is highly critical to the success of the Vision, especially in the next couple of years. Evidently, the HR community should take progressive steps to shape leadership and facilitate change in these murky times starting with themselves.  The New era effective HR function will take a more pivotal role within organizations  effecting structural change while guiding people through the required interpersonal behaviors that accompany transition” says Rula Kanaan Korban – Partner at Amrop, speaking about the evolving role of human resources in the Kingdom. 

Having established a dedicated office in Jeddah in the year 2013, Amrop has skillfully navigated the challenging human resources terrain in the Kingdom. Speaking about the role of policy makers and sound leadership in developing a skilled workforce, Rula believes “to achieve Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia is currently undergoing an unprecedented economic transformation that is moving it from being an oil dependent country to a more diversified economy.  As such governing and steering bodies need to assure the right leadership is in place at this critical time”. Talking about tackling executive search challenges, she says “Through offering context driven search and leadership assessment solutions Amrop has been able to quickly and successfully respond to the Saudi market changing needs.  Our Executive Search process in Saudi Arabia has been developed over 20 years of direct experience covering the Saudi market and utilizing world class best practices. Being part of the Saudi community, we live our client’s challenges on daily basis and use this experience to refine our services to successfully meet their specific needs.”

Speaking about the role of innovation and technology in the human resources industry Rula says “Amrop’s mission is to help organizations “Shape Future Success Through Inspiring Leaders” and we do this by being agile, inclusive, innovative, focused on excellence with a high measure of ethics and caring.  While we hold tight to the principles of conducting fresh, direct and comprehensive research every time we start a new project, we continuously investigate and apply innovative technology and process improvement to assure the most effective, accurate and secure product.  In addition to using the latest technology (e.g cloud services, mobile applications, client interface portals) our associates are trained and certified in the latest internet search techniques.”
