I am the President of Al Shirawi Group of companies in Abu Dhabi, UAE.I took the course myself to make sure of the high-Quality Learning and Development which we wanted in our employees. This course truly turned our employees into knowledge workers from being just skilled and routine-minded workers. I have also observed they developed awareness and commitment to creating value in whatever they do. This is an amazing change. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to any employer who wants to make a difference to their employees and to their business.
