A Strategic Event for HR Leaders and Experts to Drive Transformation in the Saudi Workforce

Saudi, 13-03-2025 : Saudi Arabia, as a developing country, has achieved tremendous progress in changing its human resources development (HRD) sector, but it still faces hurdles in aligning its workforce with the needs of rapid economic growth. Despite recent social and economic reforms, Saudi labour markets continue to struggle to fulfil the country's changing economic needs. Human Resource Development is crucial to this change, serving as an indicator of the country's social, cultural, and economic growth. The National Human Resource Development (NHRD) framework empowers HR professionals to go beyond company talent development and address larger national challenges. This framework serves to highlight labour market concerns while also ensuring that HRD policies are adapted to the needs of the future workforce.

The Human Capability Development Program (HCDP), started in 2021 as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, intends to empower citizens while also increasing global competitiveness. The HCDP is intended to produce a competitive national workforce by emphasizing value promotion, future skill development, and knowledge enhancement. To do this, continual analysis of NHRD policies is required to align labour demands and supply, resulting in successful workforce planning for long-term national growth. This strategic strategy is critical for providing the Saudi workforce with the skills needed to face future problems.
