Claims employee numbers rose by 17% in 2012

Empower, the district cooling service provider in the region, has announced that its employee numbers rose by 17% in 2012, compared to 2010. It also said that it had launched several power plants and client servicing centres in 2012, as part of the company’s strategic planning to provide high quality district cooling system, which it said reduced energy consumption, unlike the traditional air conditioning systems.

Ahmed Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, said that the increase in staff reflected the company’s growing clientele and services. He noted that there was rising demand for district cooling, as more real estate projects were opting for it.

“The actual increase in the use of district cooling services is driven by the growing number of buildings and apartment units. We are executing a plan to put the company on the global front and this can only be done by developing the capabilities of all technicians, client servicing employees and management executives,” Bin Shafar added.

According to Empower, it is implementing a training strategy to its human resources as it believed that it was the primary contributor in strengthening its prominent position in the region and the world.
