HR CONSULTANCY PRACTICE GulfBankers is pleased to announce the launch of their new consulting services, the Human Resources (HR) Practice. The HR Practice has been specially geared towards organizations who are dedicated to be in line with the industry best practices.

As organizations seek to maximize their potential, they must recognize that many traditional concepts may no longer be appropriate. Much too often, the importance of focusing on people who create the value in an organization is downplayed, which leads to a series of downsizing, hiring freezes, and minimal investment in their human capital. Successful organizations must capitalize on their people to gain a competitive advantage in today’s truly global marketplace.

We have highlighted below some of the service offerings to provide you with background information as to the new portfolio of services that GulfBankers can provide towards your organization.
