The investigation was conducted with the help of a questionnaire survey in state-onwned enterprises (SOEs). The research findings highlight an increased emphasis on HRD initiatives at a national level in Omani firms. There is a significant degree of awareness among the top managers regarding the benefits of a strategic approach to HRD. Despite all this, the implementation of HRD programmes has not been able to develop the skills and competencies of the Omani workforce to the levels required under the sixth national five-year plan.
