Dubai - The Ministry of Finance and Industry (MOFI) and the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) agreed on the need to train the administrative personnel of human resource (HR) departments on the implementation of the Human Resources Management System (HRMS), which is an offshoot of MOFI's e-government initiative.
The recommendation came at a workshop conducted by MOFI and CSB recently to review the recommendations and goals of the assessment phase of the HRMS project, as well as introduce the preliminary services to be implemented under the project.
The workshop also stressed the importance of the involvement and support of heads of official HR departments for the project to ensure the application of best HR management practices in ministries and official bodies.
According to Dr. Ali bin Abood, Director General of CSB, the assessment phase consisted of agreeing on a working plan to implement the HRMS, which will be implemented through an integrated electronic system, as well as review all the existing HR procedures implemented across the federal government bodies.
Abood said that the HRMS project will introduce decentralization in the management of HR departments and as such achieve best results in areas of recruitment, personnel administration, career development and assignments. It will also provide integrated HR and payroll services to employees."
He said that the workshop discussed several initiatives introduced by CSB. These include plans to develop and update HR organisation charts, train personnel to offer better services and do a study on an integrated HR plan to be implemented across the federal government.
This year, Abood said, the federal government civil service law and employment chart will be posted on the government portal in order to raise awareness of the HMRS project, which is an important part of the e-government initiative. It is also a way to get government employees accustomed to using the internet for information on civil service legislation, he noted.
The next step, Abood said, would be to offer information for government employees regarding their profiles and other related issues.
