Qapco achieves 30pc Qatarisation of workforce, says vice-chairman

DOHA: Qatari nationals make up about 30 percent of the total workforce of Qatar Petrochemical Company (Qapco). And the number of nationals in the top management is as high as 80 percent, said a senior official of the company recently.  

“Over 80 percent of employees in the top management of Qapco are Qataris. And as far as achieving the target of Qatarisation is concerned, we have witnessed a remarkable success. Currently about 30 percent of our total workforce consists of nationals, and we are confident of achieving the set target of 50 percent in the years to come,” said Dr Mohammed Yousef Al Mulla (pictured), Vice-Chairman and CEO of Qapco on the sidelines of the launch of Qapco Club in Mesaieed on Tuesday.

Under the Qatarisation policy, the overall target for the energy and industry sector is reaching and maintaining 50 percent or a greater number of Qataris in permanent jobs.  However, there are public sector companies with less than five percent Qatari employees, far below the target, and continuing to woo the limited Qatari labour force to achieve it within the given time frame.
