40,000 followed the 13th virtual HR Club sessions during 2020

Sunday October 04, 2020

The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) recently held the HR Club virtual session No 13, in 2020, under the title "Talent Management in the Digital Age", using live streaming tech (webinar).

In this regard, Salwa Abdullah, Director of Projects and Programs Department at the Authority confirmed that more than 7,600 Club associates  and those interested from inside and outside the country followed the activities of the session held by the Authority through direct broadcast technology, noting that since the beginning of 2020, 13 virtual sessions were held, attracting more than 40 thousand people.

She pointed out that the Human Resources Club sessions have received greater attention and interaction since the Authority launched the live broadcast technology in late 2019, which played a role in enabling the Club to reach a larger segment of society.

The session, moderated by Salwa Abdullah, hosted Mr. David John Edwards, Head of Talent Solutions Consulting at SHL Global the Middle East, who tackled the most important transformations that the global labor market is currently witnessing, as well as their impact over the next few years, and how institutions and individuals can prepare well for these transitions.

He explained that digital transformation dominated the global labor market scene during the past few years, as one study indicates that the volume of global spending on digital transformation and service automation in 2019 reached nearly $ 1.7 trillion. Moreover, he added that 87% of chief executives surveyed in the study look at digital transformation as a priority for their institutions, and 66% of them believe that their institutions should pump more investments in the field of digital transformation if they want to remain in the competition.

Mr. Edwards said, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution and artificial intelligence technologies imposed new equations in the labor market, and radically transformed the nature of roles and tasks performed by employees in various fields. I is highly important to keep pace with all developments related to technological changes, by attracting and employing digital talents,  improving digital skills of existing employees; in order to enable them to keep up with the rapid technological developments.”

Flexible talent management strategy

The speaker explained that in light of the digital transformations taking place  around us, organizations should develop a flexible and integrated strategy to manage and maintain their talent. This is very important, given the intense  competition between international institutions and companies to attract digital talent. He called on developing well-thought-out succession plans for the workforce, to ensure its continuity and enhance its competitiveness.

In this regard, he cited the results of one of the global studies that interviewed   hundreds of human resource leaders and employees from different countries of the world, where the leaders indicated that only 32% of employees were able to change traditional work methods, and adopt more modern ones, that are capable of keeping pace with the digital age. About 53% of the employees participating in the study stated that they expect to obtain the necessary support from human resources departments in their workplace, to develop their capabilities, and enhance their digital skills.

He pointed out that organizations are required to upgrade a set of  competencies and skills among their employees, perhaps the most prominent of which are learning, adaptation, strategic thinking, innovation and creativity, decision-making, entrepreneurship, cooperation, communication, critical thinking, planning and organizing.

The Human Resource Club

The Human Resources Club launched in 2010 is one of the most important strategic initiatives of the Authority. It is an interactive platform and an intellectual and knowledge communication channel that brings together interested people, to discuss human resource issues and support services.

It is an interactive platform that offers its membership, an ideal opportunity to learn about the best practices, experiences and success stories of many individuals and institutions, as well as meeting with specialists and actors in the field of institutional work.

It is noteworthy that the door to membership is open free of charge for those interested in human resources, public administration institutional support and other relevant fields. The Club is keen to communicate with its affiliates through website, e-mail, and various social networking channels. Those interested can apply for membership through: the Authority website: www.fahr.gov.ae, or the Club e-mail: HRClub@fahr.gov.ae
