pany. Put the odds in your favor by matching people with jobs and managing risk. Profiles International assessments evalu-

4. 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 prac-
tices.
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.
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 portfo-
lio of services that GulfBankers can provide towards your organization.

procedures and systems. These are documented as the following:

ORGANIZATION DESIGN
An organization can achieve the best performance from its human capital only if the organization structure and style
supports them. At its most fundamental level, an organization design is a formal, guided process for integrating the people,
information and technology of an organization. It is used to match the form of the organization as closely as possible to the
purpose(s) the organization seeks to achieve. With this in mind, we can work with your organization to design and develop
organizational structure, roles and processes to meet your business needs. These include:
• Organization Structure
• Job Descriptions
• Job Evaluation
• Key Performance Indicators
MEASUREMENT TOOLKIT
With the success of any organization dependent upon its employees, it is important to regularly survey employees to
identify the organizational climate, and to attract, retain and develop key competencies. In order to enable this change, we
will introduce a toolkit which will comprise of a customized survey which is provided to all employees for completion.
Upon the completion of the survey, the results are analyzed and a written report of the finding will be presented.
• Employee Perception Survey

reviews the full range of HR activities, including how your organization is structured to deliver the HR deliverables likere-
cruitment and selection, compensation and benefits administration, performance management, etc. Identifying "gaps"
between policy and practice can not only increase legal compliance but also increase efficiency and productivity, processes
quality and enhance employee satisfaction.
