Dear all,
In view of Human Resource practices, the event on 9/11 and also 7/7 surely somehow rather will give impact to HR's practices. For example, in Airlines business, air mashalls were recruited by Airlines to combat the rise of terrorism which is very sophisticated in this era. Flight Attendant will need to undergo special traning, and different perspective is given towards safety of businesses. Rather than a sabotaj is because of the business, the sabotaj is more likely of the outcome of terrorist act, meaning to say, there is no specific reason for the attack, it could be political, business or race & religion. A factory may be blown up not for the product is no good, or the management is cruel, but for a mere statement that a certain terrorist group exist.
In my organisation, being a multinational organisation, the recruitment of people that comes from a Arab countries is being handle very carefully, thus making the recruitment process to be longer that will upsets certain KRA of key employees. My country being a Muslim country is not very much affected by the new stigma of the Arabs in particular and Muslim in general. But, recently, I attended a Seminar in Singapore, I met few people that comes from Europe, by introducing me as a Muslim have taken them aback. They are quite reserved in their comment. Maybe out of goodwill, they do not intend to hurt my feelings. It really could help if I can understand the following:
1. How does the non-Muslim feels about Muslim people in General?
2. Does these events in the world would effect your selection process? Meaning, will there be reservation in hiring Muslim employees in an International Organisation?
3. What other security measure your organisation put in to ensure you don't employ a terrorist?
4. Could this inferior feeling subside in the future?
In a recent press conference regarding the 7/7 attack, a journalist asked the Deputy Asst Commisioner of Police MR Brian Paddick, "Is there an indication that the attack is from Islamic Terrorist". He answered, "Before I answer, I like to reinterate that that words should not be coined together. These terrorist act is never in line with the teaching of Islam as a faith. These people are using the name of Islam to justify their act."
As a Muslim, I am happy to hear that there are people that understand what the media is doing by calling these terrorist as Islamist terrorist, or Islamic extremist or Islamic fundamentalist. They all should just be called TERRORIST. or maybe Al-Qaeda terrorist. Don't get the word Islam involved as it does give a negative impact to the Muslim worldwide.
Thankfully the people in my country understand as they live in a country where majority are Muslim and they know what Islam stands for. Only after attending the seminar I realize that it is not so in a non-Muslim countries. Just would like you to share does it effect until the employment process? Do you have reservation in hiring Muslims? Did ask this during the seminar, but I do not think I got a honest answer. Hopefully, this forum would provide me with some honest answer. It is important for me as to enable us to understand and help with our Oversea station recruitment.
Thank you and take care.
