11/11/24, 9:29 AM Hamdan bin Mohammed issues resolution on Succession Planning System for Dubai Government
operations.

The Succession Planning System features effective mechanisms for identifying top-performing
employees and preparing them for new roles. The Resolution aims to ensure a unified set of succession
planning procedures for government entities.

The provisions of this resolution apply to all Emirati civilian employees of government entities, except for

those on temporary contracts, special contracts, secondments, and retirees appointed within these
entities.

According to the resolution, the Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) is tasked
with developing and approving a guide to the procedures, timelines, and templates required for

implementing the Succession Planning System. DGHR is responsible for updating and distributing this
guide to government entities and monitoring their compliance.

Additionally, the department will regularly review the provisions of the resolution, recommend
amendments, and submit them for approval to the relevant authorities.

According to the resolution, employees are nominated for succession planning by their department, in

coordination with unit heads, and with the employee’s consent. Nominations must align with the
resolution’s provisions, procedural guidelines, the entity’s strategic and operational requirements, and
Emiratisation policies.

The Director General of DGHR will issue the decisions needed to implement this resolution. This

resolution is effective from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
