The company’s excellent salary and benefits packages includes group insurance, retirement benefits, tuition reimbursement, sick leave and paid vacation. Ratio of basic salary of woman to men is 1:1.
We have invested in identifying more inclusive ways of employees working with leaders, whereby leaders support their teams by trusting, empowering and coaching them to succeed while ensuring that cutting edge processes are in place so that individual accountability and employee performance is increased. These approaches ensure that our employees are provided with the pathway to work in accordance with the highest professional and technical standards.
As we still battle the economic and social impacts of the pandemic, Qatar Steel recognizes that a healthy and satisfied workforce is crucial for business success. We recognize and appreciate the wholehearted support from our employees over the past year during these challenging times.
