Abu Dhabi:Agthia Group PJSC, one the region’s leading food and beverages companies, celebrated the launch of Tatweer, the new Group-wide talent-development platform that aims to develop and enhance the skills of the Group’s employees, across different locations. Tatweer’s launch is part and parcel of Agthia’s commitment towards supporting the Human Development pillar of the Year of Zayed.
Held at the Agthia Academy in Al Wathba, Agthia’s management unveiled the Tatweer logo as an identity to encompass the Group’s new and existing training programs under one umbrella, unifying human capital advancement efforts and ensuring Agthia’s employees are on the right path to becoming the Group’s future leaders. The Tatweer launch took place on the sidelines of a graduation ceremony, which saw 15 employees graduate from the third edition of the Career Enhancement Program (CEP), the in-house developed training suite designed exclusively for select Emirati employees.
Tariq Ahmed Al Wahedi, Chief Executive Officer of Agthia Group, said, “Agthia’s success and growth has always been driven by our employees, something we are immensely proud of. In order to make sure this positive momentum continues, we have continually introduced training and development programs that guarantee our people have the right skills and expertise to become Agthia’s future leaders.”
Al Wahedi added, “We are glad to launch Tatweer at a time when we proudly graduate 15 of our employees from one of our many strategic training programs. With the introduction of Tatweer, the Group will be able to unify its various training suites with one common goal to provide our employees with the resources to progress and succeed.”
Agthia Group Senior Vice President of Human Capital & Corporate Services, Mubarak Al Mansoori, said, “Introducing Tatweer as an all-encompassing platform will take our training efforts to the next level and ensure a unified experience is implemented across all our human development programs. Being able to offer opportunities for growth is important to us, and as of today, under Tatweer, we have trained more than 150 employees across our locations in the last year alone. We expect this number to double in the next 12 months.”
Currently ‘Tatweer’ comprises several anchor training initiatives including Leadership@Agthia, Career Enhancement Program (CEP), Advanced CEP, National Talent Integration Program (NTIP), and Leading Business. Training programs have been carefully designed to cater to different needs and in alignment with the Group’s business objectives. Each program has been designed for a certain career level, while some are limited to Emirati nationals only such as the CEP or Saudi nationals like the NTIP.
