With nearly 2,000 employees, and a vertically integrated business model, Gulf Craft's workforce displays a wide variety of different cultures, languages, nationalities and professions.
Mohammed Alshaali, Founder and Chairman of Gulf Craft, considers this diversity one of the key factors in the company's success story, valueing the teamwork as well as the individuality of each employee : "Looking after and developing our staff is one of the most important ways to create a successful brand."
Gulf Craft's Human Resources Department, headed by Mr. Mohammed Abdul Monem, has recently embarked on an ambitious employee education & training program. The training sessions, which have started on July 2015, focus on the development of technical know-how, interpersonal skills and team building.
Employees were very eager to attend the training on topics such as email 101, how to handle difficult conversations and how to see diversity as an asset.
Aside from the office staff training sessions, workers in the Gulf Craft shipyards were also trained in Gulf Craft's 5S program, safety and fire drill exercises and how to perform first aid in case of emergencies.
Here are some of the photos taken during the training sessions:
