| HUMAN RESOURCES |
MEDC believes that human resources are the essential elements upon whom its success depends. Therefore, it pays profound attention to the development of the efficiency of its staff through training and skill improvement programs. MEDC’s recruitment policy aims to achieve a higher percentage of Omanization. In order to realise all this, MEDC has developed programs and adopted structures and systems that keep abreast with local market developments.
This Human Resources Manual specifies rights and duties of staff to ensure transparency and accountability. It also aims at developing the administrative and organizational work at MEDC.
