developing a dynamic and innovative government work environment. They embody the highest standards of
professional excellence, demonstrating the ability to make meaningful impact through scientifically validated
assessment tools and internationally recognised benchmarks. Their contributions play a significant role in fostering a
culture of institutional excellence across all areas of government.”

Mohamed Farid, Managing Director of SHL Middle East, said: “We are honoured to enter into a strategic collaboration
with the Dubai Government Human Resources Department on this pioneering initiative, which underscores our shared
commitment to strengthening government capabilities and promoting data-driven institutional development. Throughout
the program, we witnessed a strong enthusiasm from participants to adopt advanced assessment technologies and
international best practices, which will result in the continued progress of Dubai Government's transformation efforts.”

“This collaboration reflects our vision as a global leader in talent analytics, where building a smart and innovative
government begins with unlocking and harnessing human potential. In line with this vision, we reaffirm our strong
commitment to supporting Dubai Economic Agenda D33 by providing government entities with the knowledge, tools,
and technologies essential for identifying, developing, and retaining the talent that will drive the economy of the future.
We look forward to expanding this partnership through more advanced, results-oriented training programs that will
further strengthen Dubai's position as a global leader in talent development and administrative excellence,” he added.

Conducted twice a week from April 30 to June 17, 2025, the program brought together employees from 37 government
entities, making it one of the most extensive specialised training initiatives in talent management and analytics across
Dubai. Participants gained valuable insights into key government competencies, preparing them to help shape a future-
ready workforce. Upon meeting the program's rigorous standards, the graduates also received an internationally
accredited certification from the British Psychological Society (BPS).

The event highlighted the success stories and personal experiences of the participants, showcasing the program's
positive impact on their professional growth. It also reaffirmed the strong partnership between the Dubai Government
Human Resources Department and SHL to deliver more training initiatives in future. These upcoming programs will
focus on equipping government employees with advanced capabilities, promoting greater adaptability and innovation to
overcome the challenges of the future.

This initiative aligns with the Dubai Government Human Resources Department's dedication to advancing the Dubai
Economic Agenda D33 and the UAE Strategy for Talent Attraction and Retention. By building a network of certified
professionals trained in behavioural competency assessment through scientific methods, the program strengthens the
effectiveness and sustainability of the workforce, playing a key role in increasing the efficiency of human capital across
government entities.
