The event aimed to provide networking
opportunities and allow professionals to hear from expert panelists.
Event speakers included HR officers and
directors from Jordan, Egypt, and Kuwait, who spoke about the best practices in
HR, the latest trends, and future outlooks
“Those who put
people as their top priority and are following best HR practices to keep employees
are successful HR managers,” said Randa Abu-Ghoush, who works as a senior talent
management associate at Teeba Investment for Developed Food Processing.
On the other hand, “there are a lot of pillars to identify an unsuccessful HR management
team, including an HR team’s unwillingness to work as business partners, and
the lack of a clear plan for each employee in the company,” she said.
Abu Ghoush
mentioned the importance of evaluating comments employees make during exit
interviews, which are interviews held at the end of an individual’s employment
that aim to gather useful feedback to help guide future practices and improve
recruitment and retention.
“An unsuccessful HR manager works
numbers without drawing up results, and they just conduct exit interviews
without putting in any work on the interview results,” she told
Jordan News. This affects the retention of remaining employees, where a lack of applying
such insights often leads to further resignations.
Reem Abu Okab, human resources deputy
director at Gulf Insurance Group, mentioned some key performance indicators that
an HR team must take into consideration, including hiring diversity, reviewing
salaries, work-health indices, and
mental health — especially following the
COVID-19 pandemic.
“The environment and the culture of
a company very much affect candidate employees’ opinions of the company and
whether it is suitable for them or not,” she said.
Bashar Hawamdeh, CEO and founder of
Menaitech, told
Jordan News that “if an employee decides to leave a
company to go to another one, that does not indicate the failure of the company
they left, but means that this employee wants different experiences or wishes
to acquire new skills.”
Hawamdeh explained that, while short
stints at companies used to be a “bad sign” when HR personnel considered CVs,
“the new generation is moving quickly from one place to another to build various
and numerous experiences at different places, which could be a good sign.”
“In the end, change is a normal part
of life,” he added.
