achievements. Once their CVs
are complete, we circulate it
proactively to all the departments
in the Home OpCo to search for
opportunities.
We have created an internal
talent management system called
‘Etisalat Talent Bank’. This bespoke
system provides a repository and
search-enabled database of our
top talent and all Secondees are
asked to keep this up to date.
While we find that many of our
Secondees secure positions, well in
advance of repatriation, there are
still some that remain unplaced.
In this situation, we try to find
transitional assignments for them
while we look for permanent
positions. We also circulate details
to our other OpCos to see if they
can be placed on local contracts.
As I said, it is a challenge and we
have come some way to improving
the situation. I look forward to
seeing what other companies are
doing so that we might leverage
best practice.
