Oman Vision 2040 lays out bold ambitions: economic diversification, public sector efficiency, and human capital development. But achieving this requires more than plans—it demands a strategic evolution of HR and Learning & Development (L&D).
Here’s what that means for HR and L&D leaders across the Sultanate:
Shift from Operational HR to Strategic HR
HR is no longer an administrative function—it must now be a driver of transformation, aligning workforce planning with national goals.
National Talent Development
Omanisation is more than compliance—it’s a leadership development challenge. Programs must prepare Omanis not just for roles, but for future leadership.
Sector-Specific Skill Building
L&D strategies must align with key sectors identified in Vision 2040, including logistics, tourism, manufacturing, and renewables.
Culture-Driven Change
Vision 2040 prioritizes values like innovation, transparency, and citizenship. L&D must embed these in workplace behavior.
Case Insight:
In partnership with a government unit, Sharef & Co developed a customized development track for young Omani leaders. It blended project-based learning with coaching and national policy alignment. Within 6 months, over 80% of participants had moved into higher-impact roles.
The future of Oman depends on the capacity of its people—and that starts with how we recruit, develop, and lead.
Let’s rethink HR and L&D together—guided by Oman’s national vision.
