The GCC Workplace 2024 event was very well-organized and ran smoothly, with the right time given to each sub-event. The speakers were extremely engaging and informative, and provided some real life interesting examples, that I could relate to, and of course, added a lot of value. I personally learned a lot about industry practices, trends and most importantly, what my peer leaders are doing to address the challenges faced. I had a great time learning and networking at the event and would definitely attend the Workplace Awards 2025.
