Hi Folks,
It was great meeting all of you on Friday (29th August 2008). I also thank all of you for giving me a patient hearing! My stroke bank is overflowing! :) :) :)
The arrangements for the meet were great! Thanks to all the organizers. I understand and appreciate the effort behind it.
It was great listening to John and Ramesh. As Ramesh pointed out during the course of his presentation, we never know what triggers from these interactions! My resolve to learn another language has strengthened, Ramesh. Thanks to you :)
Message to John: JE from an experienced person was at the right time for me since my Position Descriptions are in place now! Thank you for your valuable inputs.
It is very comforting to know that there is a group of people who may be going through the same experiences that you are and are willing to share their experiences. Getting to meet all of you was a great experience, and I am already looking forward to the next meet!
Cheers! Geetha

Hello Geetha,
Ladies first - Following this, I was waiting for one of you to write about our 2nd meeting. I also felt, maybe why no posts? Did the arrangements go wrong, or did it become too tiring that even after one or two days, no posts? Jokes apart, it was my pleasure, and I am sure all the others to have a gathering to put faces to the names we read each time.
John, it was very interesting to listen to your presentation and interactions. It was very kind of you to have taken time out from your busy schedule and offered us your valuable experience and guidance on Job Evaluation and how it has evolved and continues to evolve. Thank you, Ms. Bruncha, for volunteering to invite your CEO to share knowledge and expertise from a professional angle.
Geetha, Transactional Analysis, the topic you presented to us became more transparent with your simple, clear, and convincing presentations. One danger now with that - I am thinking of TA aspects in all actions coming in front of me. This outlines the value of your presentation.
And thanks to all others for the interactive discussions held during the meeting.
And last but not least, those who committed to attend and missed, it is a costly miss - for you in terms of the knowledge sharing opportunity you missed and for us, those who attended, in terms of the increased expense share we had to incur because you dropped out.
Looking forward to more interactions here and wishing you all a blessed month of Ramadan.

Hi All,
This is Narayanan Kutty (rekhamaniauh). It was nice to see people from the HR Fraternity across UAE gather at the meet. The presentations from John, Ramesh, and Geeta were simply brilliant. Although it was my first time at the meet, I felt that 3 hours were too short for such a gathering. Hopefully, next time when we meet, we will have more participants and much more interaction among the members regarding the challenges faced by the HR fraternity across UAE.
To summarize, it was a well-organized meet, and I feel great to be among such brilliant HR professionals.

Hi Everyone,
At the outset, I would like to thank Sajid for making this meeting happen, Ramesh for organizing the venue, and of course, his wonderful contributions to keeping our UAE local forum alive. Last but not least, I would like to thank each and every member present there for the valuable inputs and insights to the discussions that we had during the meeting. TA was something that I wasn't aware of, and it was very interesting listening to Geetha giving an explanation of it.
Thanks, everyone, for participating, and I hope for our next meeting we have many more joiners. Looking forward to it. Cheers to all!!
Best regards,

Dear All,
Greetings.
It's been over 10 days since we last met. Despite numerous reminders and follow-ups, there were some members who, still awaiting confirmation from their end, were unable to attend the meeting. A few of them were considerate enough to inform us about their unavailability.
However, it is disheartening to see some members who did not even bother to send a single apology email. The higher the expectations, the more disheartening the outcome. As managers in the HR field, where we strive to enhance employee performance and champion a motivated workforce, can't we be more responsible? Are we not accountable for our lack of responsiveness regarding events to which we had committed ourselves?
