Qatar Petroleum (QP) recently recognised 831 employees who have served the corporation for 10 and 15 years.
Held under the patronage of Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, president and CEO of QP, the second part of QP’s Continuous Service Awards (CSA) honoured 434 employees who have already recorded 10 years of service and 397 staff members who have been part of the corporation for the past 15 years.
The awardees came from QP’s various directorates and departments, working in the corporation’s range of operational areas in Doha, Dukhan, Mesaieed, Ras Laffan, Halul Island and offshore production stations.
In a speech during the event, Abdulaziz Mohamed al-Mannai, executive VP for human capital, said: “There is no doubt that the long service of our employees is the best testimony any organisation can receive in describing its standing as an employer. This is also a testimony to the success of our human capital policies not just in attracting talent, but also in nourishing and preserving them.”
Al-Mannai presented the awardees with a certificate of appreciation and a gift as a token of gratitude for their loyalty and many years of dedicated service with the corporation.
A number of QP executive vice-presidents and other senior officials also took turns to distribute the certificates and gifts, enabling them to congratulate the honoured employees from their respective directorates or departments.
Last week’s CSA ceremony was the second to be held by QP this year to honour its long-serving employees. It followed the first CSA ceremony 2016, which was held on February 17 to recognise a total of 369 employees who have achieved career milestones of 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service with the corporation.
In addition, as part of this year’s CSA programme, a total of 368 QP employees will also receive certificates of appreciation for having completed five years of service thus far.
A total of 1,568 male and female employees will be awarded in 2016 after serving the corporation for five to 40 years.
Organised by QP’s public relations and communications department in partnership with the Human Capital Directorate, the ceremony was held at the convention hall of the new QP headquarters in West Bay.
The annual event is one way by which QP recognises the valuable contribution of its employees in the corporation’s continued growth and extensive operations in the oil and gas industry, according to a statement.
