Dubai: The “Empowering Human Resources Departments” program, which aims to increase the effectiveness of human resources departments inside government organizations, was started by the Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR).
The project’s initiation aligns with a set of strategic initiatives and projects launched by DGHR, contributing to transforming the government’s human resources sector. The launch witnessed the participation of human resources department directors, managers, and department heads from the government departments targeted by the initiative.
The project encompasses over 40 government entities’ human resources departments. Its primary focus is to ensure the readiness of these entities to implement the forthcoming operating model.
This implementation is a collaborative effort involving the active participation of all the relevant entities. The project further aims to guide the development and enhancement of the operational model for increased efficiency and flexibility. Additionally, it aims to strengthen the governance and practices of human resources, working towards achieving the desired levels of institutional efficiency.
During the evaluation phase, 543 personnel from human resources departments across government entities were involved, ensuring the participation of all groups across various functional levels.
The project stands out for its utilization of a comprehensive roadmap that encompasses various tools for human resources development. These include optimized human resources’ organizational structure, an HR operating model, an HR maturity model, and individual development plans. Furthermore, the project yields flexible operational frameworks that empower human resources departments and foster the sustainable development of skills and capabilities within government human resources departments.
Furthermore, the project stands as one of the latest initiatives by the DGHR Department in the ongoing transformation of the Government’s human resources management. This effort is part of a series of upcoming projects, including ‘Enhancing the Workforce Experience’ and ‘Strategic Workforce Planning.’
