As part of Adnoc’s focus on creating greater efficiencies, the organisation will introduce group wide procurement that will simplify the process of doing business with Adnoc, create greater understanding of Adnoc’s requirements and allow the group to optimise expenditure. One single entity for registration and pre-qualification will eliminate duplication of efforts, reduce cycle time and improve efficiency, by eliminating repetitive tendering for the same goods and services.
To benchmark its performance, Adnoc has rolled out a fully integrated balanced scorecard approach across the group, aligned to Key Performance Indicators. And, to ensure meritocratic and fair employee performance management, Adnoc will link individual performance to clear business objectives.
In support of its plan to develop world class talent, Adnoc has enhanced its HR recruitment strategy and training to ensure it continues to be an employer of choice. It will introduce an HR master plan and integrated manpower planning across the group, linking recruitment to the business strategy, while at the same time raising the bar through a competency based performance management system. Young talent will also spend less time in the classroom and more time in the field to gain hands on experience.
Adnoc also plans to create a more robust leadership pipeline, providing future leaders with the right visibility and exposure across the entire group. Bespoke leadership programmes will address the group’s business needs and an Adnoc leadership style will be created, based on common leadership behaviours. A more robust youth development programme will be designed to provide greater on the job training and mobility opportunities for new talent. These programmes will be supported by a life long learning culture, providing a mix of hands on experience and coaching, in addition to structured training.
His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, said the new headquarters underlines Adnoc’s importance as a critical pillar of the Abu Dhabi economy. During the visit, he visited floors in the building that have been specifically designed to stimulate creativity and critical thinking, in a nurturing and supportive environment, that inspires people to innovate, and deliver results. He also visited regular business floors, which are designed to facilitate dialogue and communication throughout the day among team members.
Sultan Ahmad Bin Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State and Director-General of Adnoc, said, “Our new headquarters is a reflection of the strategic changes taking place within Adnoc, as we evolve into a more commercially minded and performance driven organisation. Our new offices will help energise our new culture, which is underpinned by teamwork, exceeding expectations and achieving the highest levels of excellence to ensure our long-lasting success.”
