Building a Strong HR Department: How to Align Strategies with Your Company's Goals in Dubai

How to Develop and Control the HR Department in My Company

To develop and control the HR Department in your company effectively, there are several key areas to focus on. Firstly, it is essential to establish clear organizational goals and align HR strategies with these objectives. This involves understanding the company's vision, mission, and values to ensure HR initiatives are in line with the overall business direction.

Secondly, investing in talent acquisition and retention practices is crucial for building a high-performing workforce. Developing recruitment strategies that attract top talent and implementing retention programs to engage and motivate employees are vital aspects of HR management.

Furthermore, creating and implementing robust HR policies and procedures is essential for maintaining consistency and compliance within the organization. HR policies should address key areas such as recruitment, performance management, employee relations, and compliance with labor laws and regulations.

Regularly reviewing and updating HR policies to reflect changes in the business environment and legal requirements is also important to ensure the HR Department remains effective and aligned with organizational goals.

By focusing on these key areas and continuously improving HR practices, you can develop a strong and effective HR Department that supports the growth and success of your company.

Dear Monica, Good morning, thank you for your valuable information. As per UAE Law, I am compliant with all legal requirements. My company has a workforce of 50 employees, and currently, we do not have an HR department. I have 4 years of experience in the HR field in the UAE. However, since my company is US-based, I would appreciate your assistance in identifying areas where I need to improve and in introducing new policies.

Regards, Rahman Khan

HR policies have two crucial aspects: 1. Mandatory and 2. Productivity. While it's easy to handle the mandatory legal aspects, converting HR policies into a powerful tool for improving productivity needs a bit more thought and innovation. You should first look at the long-term objectives (could be a five-year plan) of your company and then design a program that will take all your employees to a level from where they can contribute and add business value.

Please tell a bit more about the domain you are in, the level of competition, etc. Alternatively, if you share your email, my colleague in Dubai can assist you with the preliminaries.

Cheers,
Ganesh
