wise leadership, we continue to look ahead and create initiatives that support the national
vision, which includes establishing the UAE as one of the top 10 countries in the world for global
talent competitiveness and maintaining talent in key industries, making it an ideal destination to
live and work.”

“The report’s importance stems from its ability to offer a distinctive perspective regarding the
Emirate of Dubai’s future with regard to human resources and highlight the difficulties that exist
here. It also seeks to offer suggestions that will strengthen the position of the sector in Dubai’s
government organisations, thereby enhancing the Emirate’s competitiveness worldwide. This
includes addressing important factors that affect human resources, enhancing talent attraction
and retention strategies, improving learning and development practices, integrating cutting-edge
technology into human resource management, and elevating the employee experience within
government entities,” he added.

The report delves into the primary factors influencing human resource management in Dubai,
such as innovations in technology, Federal Government policies and regulations, economic
growth, globalisation, and inflation. In addition, it emphasises how these forces affect HR
strategies and practices and recommends ways to adapt to these developments to maintain
high standards of excellence.

The report further highlights several possibilities for human resource management, including the
transformative impact of digital transformation on HR operations and improvements to the
employee experience. Moreover, it underscores the importance of funding the development of
local talent and promoting Emiratisation by providing UAE citizens with educational options and
career progression avenues.

The challenges that HR management faces, such as the need to adapt to new regulations and
changing market demands, as well as the importance of maintaining a work-life balance to
ensure employee satisfaction and increased productivity, are all key points featured in the
report.

The latest report comes as one of many initiatives launched by the Dubai Government Human
Resources Department (DGHR) to improve human resources in the UAE. One of these projects
