Human Resource Management (HRM) in the UAE has undergone a remarkable change through the years. From the traditional methods of managing personnel to cutting-edge Talent Solutions and strategic Workforce planning the world of HR has evolved to address the ever-changing demands of an evolving economy. Globalization, technology advancements, and the UAE’s vision of becoming a global business center, HR Consulting, Training and Development, IT Recruitment and Staffing, and Outsourcing Solutions are now essential for the success of an organization.
The Early Days of HRM in the UAE
When it was in the initial stages of the growth of the UAE HR processes were simple and predominantly administrative. Employers focused on hiring workers to fill positions, without much importance placed on the longer-term workforce planning or engagement of employees.
At the time the focus was not as much on Training and Development, as job responsibilities were typically assigned according to the immediate requirement rather than expansion or aligning skills. The traditional HR methods were the norm and had little strategic involvement.
The Shift to Strategic HRM
While the UAE economy grew, specifically in the fields of construction, oil and gas as well as finance, companies recognized that they required more than just a staff, they required a pipeline of talent. It was a transition from the traditional HR model to HR consulting-driven strategies that focused on expansion, scaling, as well as sustainability.
The era of the ’60s introduced:
- Professional IT recruitment and staffing Services
- Long-term Workforce Planning
- Frameworks to start to Talent Solutions
- Strategies for employee engagement that focus on the individual
The Present: HRM as a Business Partner
The most important aspects that drive modern HRM in the UAE are:
- IT Recruitment and Staffing
In the wake of the UAE’s move to become a technologically driven business, IT Recruitment and staffing services are crucial. Businesses are always seeking skilled individuals for positions in security, software development as well as digital change.
2. HR Consulting
The business world relies on HR consulting companies to aid in the development of HR policies, improve efficiency and help align the strategies of human capital with goals of the business.
