Why Strategic Trends in Human Resource Management?
In today’s competitive business environment, human resource management (HRM) has shifted from being a business function to a strategic tool as organizations increasingly recognize its contribution to organizational performance. HRM’s role is no longer restricted to serving personnel issues but is now serving strategic company objectives and goals as well. Business leaders are starting to perceive HRM as a unique source of competitive advantage through its direct impact on employee productivity and motivation.
In Lebanon, many companies continue to hold traditional views of HRM and consequently fail to capitalize on its full potential. In response, this seminar develops participants’ understanding about the strategic role that HRM can play in achieving high organizational performance.
Arab Women's Entrepreneurship Program (AWEP)
The Arab Women’s Entrepreneurship Program (AWEP) is a Citi Foundation-funded initiative, implemented by AMIDEAST in Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, and the UAE. In each country 20 women competed to be selected as participants in the program and receive:

Networking and Powerful Communication
In this rapidly changing economy, it is more important than ever before to be an effective networker. Networking is about building and maintaining relationships that provide access to people, resources, and opportunities. In this workshop, learn how to step away from just handing out business cards and start building and maintaining authentic relationships that get results.
Advisory Board
AMIDEAST President Theodore Kattouf announced the formation of an Advisory Board for AMIDEAST/Lebanon at a dinner hosted by the Lebanese Ambassador to the U.S. H.E. Antoine Chedid in Washington, D.C. on April 29, 2010. He noted that the board would be comprised of prominent Lebanese business and civic leaders who would help guide the strategy and outreach of AMIDEAST/Lebanon for the coming years. On September 6, 2010 the new Advisory Board held its inaugural meeting in Beirut during which members reviewed the educational, training and development programs currently being conducted by AMIDEAST, and the impact these programs are having in Lebanon.
