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.
