11/11/24, 9:33 AM Hamdan bin Mohammed issues resolution on Succession Planning System for Dubai Government
The new resolution aims to strengthen corporate risk management, ensure business

continuity, and identify the key positions that are critical to achieving departmental

goals and maintaining smooth 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.
