"The Covid-19 pandemic has certainly created significant obstacles for companies in Oman, especially regarding workforce requirements," says Rebecca Olson, Executive Director of the OABC.

Planning is vital to ensure companies navigate this complex landscape," says Shayan Sultan, Director of Fragomen.
Given the strategic importance of maintaining and refreshing the talent in Oman, the session examined current immigration and labor policies, and discussed what workforce planning and mobilization look like for companies now and in the near future.
Shayan Sultan, Director - Middle East and North Africa at Fragomen, Ajay Jacob, Regional Manager GCC at Qatar Airways, and Ben Ewing, Partner at CMS Oman, each presented in turn, leaving time for Q & A.
