“Planning of the project started in July of last year, when OIA commissioned Takatuf, one of its subsidiaries, to conduct a comprehensive study of SOEs within three main aspects; Human Resources Policies, Compensation and Benefits, and Organisation Structures. Takatuf also studied the best practices of governance of those aspects globally for SOEs, which covered a number of member states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development,” OIA added.
