About the event:

Training is a large investment for many companies and it is important that you are able to measure the effectiveness of, and the return on investment from, your training programmes. Top management continually require justification for the expenditure of training, therefore evaluating the business impact of training has never been more important.

With the continuing demands of global competition, developing management and retaining and developing talent, your primary concern should be to ensure that the training tools you have in place are effective and truly increase the knowledge, skills and performance of your employees.

With your objectives in mind, IIR's 4th Middle East Best Practice Training & Development Conference will feature pioneering training solutions to both develop your employees and increase business performance. The key themes of the conference include: planning your training, innovative training and development strategies, talent management and leadership development, a special focus on developing a successful nationalisation training strategy, as well as the latest research from the CIPD on training and development trends.

What's more, you will benefit greatly from best practice and  cross-industry case studies including Shell, Orange, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Emirates Group, and a key case study from Saudi Arabian Texaco showcasing their respected Nationalisation training strategy. These highly successful organisations are all making strides in training and development through implementing a 'true' learning culture and recognising that developing leadership qualities internally contributes greatly to the success of their organisation. You will take away key insights on how to apply their training and development techniques to your organisation.

As well as taking part in the comprehensive conference programme, you also have the opportunity to participate in three highly interactive workshops:

• Pre-Conference Workshop
Evaluating Training Programmes: Measuring, Managing And Optimising The ROI

• Post-Conference Workshop A
