Organizational career development practices have acquired great importance in companies in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries due to localization of the workforce, and resultant career development initiatives taken by these firms. The present research undertaken in an Omani company attempts to evaluate the career development opportunities being provided to its employees, its efficacy in bringing satisfaction among its employees and expediting the process of Omanization. The study showcases concerns of the employees that have been overlooked by the organization which has a negative impact on their satisfaction. The study suggests involving employees in the career development decision making process, and bringing transparency and fairness in the execution of the career development system can only create a win-win situation.
