Move signals significant advance towards full e-Government

Dubai, December 12, 2004: 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 (CSB), the UAE Ministry of Finance and Industry (MoFI), and eCompany, Etisalat's one-stop e-powerhouse offering internet services and total e-Solutions. 

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 Mr. Mohamed Qambar, Information Systems Department Director at the Ministry of Finance and Industry. The meeting was also attended by senior officials from eCompany, which is a strategic partner of the Federal e-Government for their entire ICT (Information & Communication Technologies) requirements.

Commenting on the meeting, 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."

Bin Abboud added that 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.

Dr. Emir Mavani said that the e-HRMS would develop a government employee community covering employee related services such as HR, online training providers, and career professionals.

"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," he added.
