Dubai Islamic Bank subsidiary adopts Mena i-Tech's HR Management System

Dubai, May 18, 2011: Al Tanmyah Services (ATS), a subsidiary of Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) specialising in facilities management and staffing services, announced today that it has implemented a new smart technology to enhance its HR processes. The company, which provides security, maintenance and staffing services, will use Mena i-Tech's Human Resources Management System (HRMS), an HR software suite designed to give employees greater transparency and control. 

ATS was established in 2001 to meet the UAE's needs for first-rate facilities management services. With the backing of DIB, ATS has been able to extend both its geographical reach and range of services, and today works with some of the UAE's largest companies and institutions.

Using Mena i-Tech HRMS system, ATS employees will have much greater control of the HR process. Through its self service module, employees will have access to the system's numerous features like leave management, and payments and receivables, satisfying most of their requirements online.

Mena -iTech HRMS system will also act as a means of communication which will further strengthen relationships within the organisation and bring staff closer to management. ATS also plans to enhance the system and add more features before the end of this year.

Mr. Ali Al Sayegh, CEO of Al Tanmyah Services, said: "The success of our company is built on offering best in class HR services to clients. Through implementing this software, ATS is embedding the best HR practices into its HR system. ATS management is committed to regularly monitor the system and keep it updated as per industry best practice."

Mena i-Tech, the first Arab software company specialised in HR Management systems, develops smart technologies which help organisations implement HR best practices, including recruitment and selection, training and development, appraisal, and succession planning.
