HR Consulting & Outsourcing
Running your HR function as a managed service, or building the systems and policies and enabling your own team.
Many organisations need a mature HR function but do not need — or cannot carry — a full-time department. We offer both routes: we run HR for you as a managed service with defined accountability and agreed indicators, or we build the systems and policies and enable your own team to run them. Which fits depends on your size and growth stage, and we help you decide before contracting.
What the service covers
Managed HR Service
Running the HR function in whole or in part: employee records, leave and attendance, onboarding and offboarding, and regular management reporting — under a service level agreement with defined indicators.
HR Systems & Policies
Drafting the HR bylaw, workplace policies and procedure manuals, aligned with UAE labour law and regulator requirements.
Job Architecture & Salary Scales
Job analysis and descriptions, job evaluation and grading, and salary and benefit scales that hold up on internal equity and external competitiveness.
Recruitment & Talent Acquisition
Designing the hiring process, building competency-based screening and interview tools, and running hiring cycles on your behalf where needed.
Employee Performance Management
Cascading corporate objectives to individuals, designing appraisal forms and the review cycle, and coaching managers through difficult performance conversations.
Employee Satisfaction & Engagement
Employee satisfaction and engagement surveys, results analysed by department, and improvement plans that get acted on rather than filed.

Agreeing what we take on and what stays with you, written into a clear scope and service level.

Issuing the systems and policies and running day-to-day operations under the approved procedures.

Report & Improve
Regular management reporting against agreed indicators, and a quarterly review to improve the service.
Frequently asked questions
Do you run HR entirely, or only advise?+
Both are available. Some clients contract us to run the function outright; others ask us to build the systems and policies, train their team, and then run it themselves. We settle the model after a diagnostic session and write the boundaries of responsibility clearly into the contract.
Do the policies comply with UAE labour law?+
Yes — drafted to align with the UAE employment relations law, its executive regulations, and any requirements specific to your sector's regulator. For matters needing a binding legal opinion we recommend review by a licensed legal counsel before final approval.
Does this suit small organisations?+
Yes, and it often suits them best. An organisation of ten to sixty employees needs HR discipline but not a full department — outsourcing is cheaper and faster than hiring for it.
