The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) and the Dubai Land Department have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) to establish a comprehensive framework that enhances collaboration in the behavioural competency assessment of employees and the exchange of expertise in human resources.

The agreement aligns with ongoing efforts by the DGHR to equip government employees with essential skills that enhance their job performance, enabling them to navigate challenges more effectively. It also reaffirms the department’s commitment to strengthening Dubai’s human resources sector and professional competitiveness by offering innovative insights and forward-thinking solutions.

The MoC was signed by Abdulla Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director-General of the DGHR, and Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director-General of the Dubai Land Department (DLD).

During the event, Al Falasi emphasised DGHR’s dedication to nurturing strong relations with various governmental organisations in Dubai. He also highlighted the role of collaboration in driving the exchange of expertise and ensuring the continuous development of Dubai’s workforce, in line with the Emirate’s vision to enhance the capabilities of its government employees.

Al Falasi said, "By signing this strategic MoC with the Dubai Land Department, we aim to strengthen our workforce, enhancing the skills and knowledge of all employees. The collaboration primarily aims to improve behavioural competencies through integrated educational programmes and innovative training pathways that make employees future-ready and improve their professional capabilities. Moreover, it seeks to promote the holistic development of diverse sectors across the Emirate.”

Marwan Ahmed bin Ghalita, Director-General of the DLD, said, “Forging effective partnerships with government organisations is a fundamental pillar in the pursuit of excellence and sustainable development within our organisation. The purpose of this MoC is to strengthen our partnership with DGHR, further enhancing the capabilities of our qualified workforce and improving job performance to meet future demands. Our utmost priority is to empower our workforce with the necessary skills to navigate rapid changes, aligning with Dubai's strategic vision.”

“Our partnership goes beyond merely providing cutting-edge training programmes. It encompasses the creation of an integrated framework that prioritises ongoing skill enhancement and the attainment of high levels of knowledge, excellence, and innovation. This collaboration will play a vital role in cultivating a more dynamic and efficient workplace, fortifying the preparedness of our workforce, and strengthening Dubai's competitiveness both locally and globally,” Bin Ghalita added.

The collaboration aims to create an integrated system encompassing innovative training programmes tailored to meet the specific requirements of each department. It will also include studies on human resources, aiming to foster innovation and knowledge excellence.

The DGHR will offer evaluation suggestions for each activity, as well as a detailed list of behavioural competencies and essential criteria to be used in the assessment process. Furthermore, the department will provide assessment tools, a specific competency template, and create reports aligned with the targeted purpose of the assessments, which will be available in both Arabic and English.
