Greetings to all,

My experience of the first UAE Cite HR meet was great. I am honored to know a group of HR professionals who are striving to assist each other with vital information relevant to our work. They have made my life easier for sure.

I have benefited from the shared resources, market insight, and most of all from a sense of support.

Frankly, over the course of my professional life, I have been engaged in a number of professional associations and currently am enrolled in a few online social networking groups, but none have been as supportive with timely information and friendly open relations.

I am glad that I found Cite HR and delighted to be active in the Meets.

Best regards,

Bruncha

Dear Sajid,

Yes, it is an item on my wishlist too. I am talking about like-minded people from the UAE who regularly visit and read this wonderful forum. Sometimes, I do not understand when I see many read notices but no replies. Why is everyone so hesitant about leaving a few words? Firstly, it will give an opportunity to know his/her thoughts about the topic to the other readers. Secondly, it will improve the communicative skills of the member. Practice makes things perfect. This is my belief and practice. Keeping things closed in one's heart and mind will never do any good. So, I appreciate our dear members from the UAE to open up a bit more and communicate freely here.

Now, let me share my experience so far with Cite HR. I remained a silent member in this wonderful forum for some time after joining (on 22-12-2006). There was not much to write about HR activities from the UAE and I was quietly using this as a learning platform to read and understand what was happening in India. It was like watching from the gallery when I used to see all those long threads and discussions. Slowly, I thought of bringing some life to activities here and started posting in the Articles by Forum Members section about life here or in the Middle East. I also aimed to generate attention to what is going on here by sharing some links through my blog, which mainly focused on Life in the UAE, developments, articles, and posting local news about visa rule changes, daily life, etc.

The increased activities of the UAE Forum, as it is now, started in full swing in late December. A group of like-minded members, under the leadership of Mildred, Sajid, Mujeeba, and others, initiated time and efforts. We had our first meeting in June in Dubai.

It was an opportunity to meet those names with whom we have been interacting daily or weekly. It created further interest and now it feels like forming a bigger family with each additional member coming in, posting, and expressing their ideas.

Creating interest and getting people to participate and express their thoughts is not an easy task, as you all know very well. Hence, comments and kudos go to the untiring efforts of Sajid, who ensures to contact each of the new members by phone or email. I also try to do the same. Many of you in the email group are now connected with each other through individual contact details. It would be a nice gesture to take your phone or write an email to contact each other, introduce yourselves, and discuss common topics. It will definitely create more interest and interactions here.

Thank you all once again for visiting without fail, commenting with interest, and progressing together.

See you at the 2nd Forum meeting scheduled to be held in Abu Dhabi tomorrow.

For those who have not yet registered, it is never too late. We have a few more slots available. Show your interest by contacting the coordinators Mr. Sajid and Ms. Mujeeba or leave your telephone number/email here, and one of us will get back to you. It is an opportunity not to be missed.

Regards,

Ramesh Menon
