Dubai Human Resources Forum held at S P Jain, Dubai

The event started with a very warm welcome by Martin Jalili, Chairman, DHRF introducing members to Prof. Christopher Abraham, Sr. Vice President – S P Jain Center of Management. Prof Chris, as he is fondly addressed by his students, very eloquently presented the unique learning ambience being created by SPJCM in its endeavour to create leaders for the future corporate world.

Reg Athwal, Founder and Chairman, Raw Group enthralled the audience with his very lively and entertaining talk on effective recruitment and talent management practices that bring higher Return on Investment (ROI) on Human Capital. He said that companies while hiring should consider the long term strategic benefits and not take short-term views on calculating cost per hire to fill up gaps which can hamper the system later.

The main highlights of the presentation included creating a total workforce plan, finding and attracting and most importantly tracking the top talent followed by a series of tips on how to best interview them! He suggested ways of going for performance based interview wherein one should objectively evaluate the candidate, rather than a personality based one.

Reg classified people and talents into three categories. A, B & C players and illustrated on how each category contributes to the success and failure of any organisation He advised HR professionals to map out the type of people beforehand rather falling prey to last minute hiccups. The session concluded with Question and Answers from the audience.

Mr. Martin Jalilli thanked S.P. Jain Center of Management for the hospitality and stated that he would look forward to a long professional association between SPJCM and DHRF.
