Integrating New National Employees Into Organisations
The key to successfully integrating UAE Nationals into the private sector is through establishing new employee
acclimatization processes:
- Creating a sustainable culture of proactive interactive coaching between line managers and new employees;
- Ensuring new employees are comprehensively engaged from day one so they are retained within the organization;
- Ensuring new employees have a sustainable on-boarding/orientation plan covering both their workplace and the whole organisation;
- Ensuring new employees have pedagogically sound structured interactive on-the-job training plans [these plans must be
comprehensively over sighted and followed up on];
- Ensuring new employees have proactive and trained buddies who report to line managers on new employees Covering: (1) learning
curve outcomes [pace of learning acquisition], (2) integration into the organization’s culture and (3) commitment to the job.
