Doha: As part of the Communications Regulatory Authority’s support for National Sport Day 2016, a government-led initiative that contributes to the health and wellness of the communities, CRA employees participated in activities to promote team-building. The highlight of the day’s events was the Obstacle Race where teams of four employees each attempted to cross incrementally difficult hurdles to finish the race in the shortest time. Hurdles included climbing, balancing, dodging among other levels of difficulty. Each team had to work together and strategise to beat the challenge.
To ensure participation by all employees, different categories of activities were held, including a tug-of-war competition and volleyball and table tennis tournaments, among others.
One of the popular activities was the Blind Kick which saw people lining up to be blindfolded to shoot a goal. Team-building is a highly useful activity that strengthens employees’ commitment to deliver CRA’s mandate of fostering a thriving communications and postal sector, access to digital media, protect consumers and manage scarce resources, with the goal of contributing to Qatar’s development into a smart, digitally connected nation.
CRA is the communications regulator, established by the Emiri Decree No. 42 in 2014. It regulates the communications and information technology sector, postal services, and access to digital media.
CRA uses its powers mandated by the decree to protect consumer rights, ensure competition, manage the resolution of disputes and the electromagnetic spectrum.
In all its activities, CRA seeks to ensure advanced, innovative and reliable ICT and postal services across Qatar. The Peninsula
