Human Resources Management (OSHRM) 2025 Conference
The eighth annual conference of the Oman Society for Human Resources Management (OSHRM) was held from 14th to 16th April 2025 under the theme ‘Leadership in the Open Space.’ This three-day event featured a distinguished line-up of international experts and decision-makers from both within and outside Oman.
The conference provided a platform for in-depth panel discussions and specialised workshops, focusing on innovative solutions and emerging trends in leadership and talent management.
Dr Ghalib bin Saif al Hosni, Chairman of the Board of Directors of OSHRM, highlighted the significance of the conference in fostering dialogue among human resources leaders in Oman.
Three students — Mr. Nibras Al Malki, Mr Omar Al Hajri and Mr. Zaid Al Busaidi — attended the conference, representing the University of Technology and Applied Sciences-Ibra, College of Economics and Business Administration, Human Resources Management Specialization.
The conference explored modern leadership concepts that transcend traditional team management, focusing on innovation, continuous improvement, and creating lasting impacts beyond organisational confines. This approach aligns with the dynamic local and international labour markets, increasingly shaped by customer needs, technological advancements, and global economic shifts.
Key topics discussed at the conference included the economics of sustainability, psychological well-being and safe work environments, reimagining organisational culture, the economic benefits of diversity, leadership in the private sector, human resource analytics, flexible learning strategies, and mentoring.
The event also featured an international exhibition, offering attendees an opportunity to explore the latest tools and solutions in the human resources sector.
The students benefited from exploring knowledge beyond the classroom, gaining networking opportunities, career inspiration, skill development, and exposure to innovation.
