Nationalisation

Across the GCC, governments and companies recognise that they need better approaches to nationalisation in order to get the best from their national talent.

Nationals have specific strengths, attitudes, needs and expectations. So standard approaches to talent sourcing, recruitment, management, development and retention are often not best suited to nationals. And with everyone fighting for the same limited pool of “top” nationals, many organisations are finding it increasingly challenging to find and retain the nationals they need.

Oxford Strategic Consulting has conducted research into nationalisation for over 10 years, including the region’s largest ever HR study. And uniquely, we translate this research into practical advice and hands-on support.

We help clients attract and retain more nationals, provide better careers for nationals and get the most out of their national workforce. We define clear nationalisation strategies and implement integrated national-specific talent programmes and HR processes.

At every stage we ensure that the new methods align closely with national culture, the particular strengths of nationals, and the organisation’s goals and values. All driven through our unique combination of leading-edge research, hands-on experience and practical attitude.
