Beyond the appointment
National talent planning should include the experience after joining.
In perspective.
Emiratization and Saudization are workforce questions as well as recruitment questions. An appointment needs a credible role, a supportive manager and a visible route to development.
Be specific about the work a candidate will own. Vague promises about exposure are less useful than a clear explanation of responsibilities and access to learning.
Discuss onboarding before an offer is made. The first weeks should help a professional understand the organisation, their stakeholders and what good performance looks like.
Keep in mind.
- Define meaningful responsibility
- Describe development clearly
- Plan the first weeks
