A Surefire Way to Set New Employees Up for Success

A person's first days or few weeks at a new job are a mix of excitement and anxiety as they settle into their new role and find out how they fit into the company culture.

The Kanoo Group understands the importance of a comprehensive orientation program and must execute this process effectively to ensure new employees get off to a great start. 

The process begins with the Human Resources and Administration Department initiating a series of approaches to introducing new employees to the company's history, culture, and values.

The aim is to familiarize the new hires with documented procedures and work instructions needed as an easy reference for guidance on executing their work more efficiently and effectively, thus, providing standard quality products and services to clients at all times.

Induction Day is a full-day event that includes breakout sessions on company policies and procedures. New employees also have the opportunity to meet new members and get to know the company's history and culture firsthand.

"Our orientation program is designed to help new employees feel welcome and supported," said Ms Maha Kanoo, Director of Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo (Holdings) BSC & Director of The Kanoo Group (UAE & Oman). "We want them to clearly understand our company's culture and values, to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their new role."

As Ms Maryam Al Busaidy, HR Manager - Administration & Emiratisation of The Kanoo Group (UAE & Oman), explains, "A good new staff orientation also makes sense for keeping employees engaged and happy with their decision to join the company. "Introduction to the company is more than just handing out laptops and showing new hires their desks. We want our new employees to be truly introduced to the company mission, vision, and values as well as start building relationships on day one."

One of the highlights of The Kanoo Group's induction program is a game-based learning session led by Ms Rose Santillan Flores, Asst HR & Admin Manager of The Kanoo Group (UAE). "We want our new employees to be excited about learning our company's policies and procedures", said Flores. "The game-based learning session is a great way to do that, and it also helps to break the ice making the event lively and engaging."

"Our main goal is to disseminate proper information to all our new employees in order to achieve effective implementation of the company’s policies & procedures, and most importantly, that they feel the sense of pride to be a part of the Kanoo family.", Flores added.

"The QHSE Department's involvement in the orientation process is an integral part of the program. This is to familiarize the new employees with our ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 Management Systems. This will help them deliver their work efficiently and effectively in meeting customer's requirements," added Mr Victor Jaurigue, Asst Manager - QHSE Department of The Kanoo Group.

The Kanoo Group's orientation strategy is a comprehensive and effective way to welcome new employees and set them up for success. The modules are well-designed and engaging, and it helps new employees feel welcome and supported.

Welcome to the Kanoo Group family!

Dubai, UAE: The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has awarded The Kanoo Group with Tawteen Partners Club Membership - Gold (Dubai) and Silver (Abu Dhabi) after having been qualified according to membership requirements and criteria, in line with the government’s Emiratisation programme.

Under the support of His Excellency Nasser bin Thani Juma Al Hamli, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, the Tawteen Partners Club is a MORHE initiative with an objective of contributing to implementing the policies that drive Emirati job seekers to join the private sectors.

It also offers special privileges, incentives and services to qualified private sector establishments according to their classification in the Club.

Ms. Maha Kanoo, General Manager, HR & Marketing – UAE & Oman, The Kanoo Group received the prestigious award which was presented by Ms. Farida Abdullah Al Ali, Assistant Undersecretary for National Human Resources Recruitment at The Kanoo Group’s Head Office in Dubai.

“We are honoured to be one of the strategic partners of the Government in enhancing the UAE workforce participation in the private sectors,” said Ms. Maha Kanoo.
Ms Maryam Al Busaidy, HR Manager, Employee Services and Emiratisation – UAE & Oman together with Mr. Ahmed Mohammad Alipoor, HR Manager, Public Relations – UAE who spearheaded the programme and also part of The Kanoo Group’s local workforces, joined the awarding ceremony.

Ms. Farida Abdullah Al Ali also met with The Kanoo Group’s local employees and exchanged dialogue with them about the importance of Emiratisation which is a priority for the UAE Government and a national responsibility for all, which is one of the driving forces of the UAE's economic development.

After determining each level of Emiratisation priority, the MOHRE sets out a specific ratio of Emirati nationals who should be working in a company.

Based on the ratio and depending on the total number of points, the MOHRE then classifies the company as Silver, Gold or Platinum.

Tawteen Partners Club privileges include access to VIP services (faster, with lower Government fees), membership upgrade, etc. The membership is free and valid for 1 year from the date of joining. It is renewed automatically, provided that all membership conditions are maintained.
