The Human Resources Club, established
in 2010, represents a dream that became a reality. The Club grew faster than
expected and reached what it is today, as one of the key strategic initiatives
of the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources.
Since its inception, the Human Resources Club has received great popularity,
with the number of its members and associates increasing daily, to reach more
than 12,000, including HR professionals and those interested in the field from
all work sectors inside and outside the country.
The Club now forms a knowledge
sharing platform that brings together HR specialists and people interested in
human capital development under one roof, to exchange ideas, experiences and
solutions that would enhance the roles assigned to HR Departments,
institutional services, etc. in various sectors of the country.
FAHR has been organizing periodic sessions
for the HR Club, in which it hosts experts and specialists locally, regionally
and globally, to share their best practices, experiences and expertise to the
Club's members. Dozens of HR physical
forums were held during the past years, before turning into virtual recently,
thus reaching out to larger audience from around the world, and the ability to
host more international speakers.
Every day, the HR Club witnesses a
remarkable increase in the number of members and those interested in attending
its virtual sessions, to discuss new topics of interest to experts and
specialists of Human Resources and Public Administration.
The experience of the live broadcast of the Club's sessions received
overwhelming popularity and remarkable interaction from the Federal Government
employees, members of the Club and those interested in its mission.
During 2021, for example, 7 sessions
were held, followed by approximately 43,000 people, to discuss many important
topics, such as: Information Security, Business Sustainability, Transformation
into a Learning Organization, Empowerment of Entrepreneurship, Psychological Well-being
and Coping with COVID-19 Pandemic, and the Future of Job Interviews using AI Techniques.
The Club membership is open free of
charge for those interested in Human Resources, Public Administration Institutional
Support and other relevant fields. The Club is keen to communicate with its
affiliates through website, e-mail, and various social networking channels.
Those interested can apply for membership through: The Authority website: fahr.gov.ae , or the Club e-mail: HRClub@fahr.gov.ae
