DUBAI - The process of implementing e-Human Resources Management Systems (e-HRMS) across federal ministries in the UAE has begun with the appointment of special e-HRMS teams from the Civil Service Bureau, the UAE Ministry of Finance and Industry, and eCompany.

The e-HRMS project provides a tool for planning and managing employee related activities including recruitment, personnel administration, career development and assignments. It also provides an employee integrated HR and payroll service. 

The appointment of the special e-HRMS teams took place at the first of a series of meetings between the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) and the UAE Ministry of Finance and Industry (MOFI) that will eventually witness the e-Human Resources Management System being implemented across the federal ministries in the UAE. The meeting was chaired by Dr  Ali bin Aboud, deputy general director, CSB and attended by Dr Emir Mavani, e-Government Project Director and  Mohamed Qambar, Information Systems Department Director at the Ministry of Finance and Industry.

Dr Bin Aboud said: "This is both an ambitious project and a very complicated one as it involves the human resources development in all the federal ministries. The implementation of the e-HRMS will allow us to match the output of education with the job market realities.'' "Sharing of human resources data and knowledge related to employees is another advantage of this system. However, this system also provides a foundation for future e-learning offerings and distance learning through the employee portal by forming alliances with training institutions,'' said Dr Emir Mavani.
