Rotana Hotels Human Resources department has been working on the restructuring of its Performance Management system, which is a necessary step taking into consideration the fast-paced expansion plans of the company and the increasing number of team members.
“We are expanding at a phenomenal rate and, because of this; our resources are well focused on our own employees and their retention. We believe that Performance Management is a process that allows Management to cascade organizational goals into individual and team objectives, increase the employees’ capabilities and improve the company’s culture”, said Imad Elias, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating for Rotana.
As the Competencies framework was introduced last year, the new, all-year round Performance Management process is based on these “Competencies” as well as on “Key Performance Objectives” to assess the employee performance. Commenting on this matter, Joseph Abou Yaghi, Corporate Vice President Human Resources for Rotana said “This is a major shift in our company and a new start based on the core competencies framework and well-defined performance measures”.
On December 16th and 17th, all General Managers, Corporate & Associate Vice Presidents attended the “Leading People Performance” programme which was held at the Beach Rotana Hotel & Towers, Abu Dhabi. The programme has been designed for senior managers who are leading the Performance Management process and overseeing its effectiveness within their area of responsibility.
At the same time, another programme, “Managing People Performance”, is currently being rolled-out in the company on managerial and supervisory levels to develop the skills required for managing the Performance Management process throughout the year.
In line with the expansion plans Rotana’s Human Resources Department has put a complete proactive plan together, which includes and not limited to, staff development, retention, surveys, competency program, centralisation of recruitment and the search for new markets to source staff. “We currently have 6000 employees and by 2010 the company will be increasing it’s manning by 150%, which makes the approximate total number of employees 15000. We are looking at recruiting 8300 employees, out of which are 27 General Managers, 330 Department Heads, 390 Managers, 685 supervisors and 6600 employees”, concluded Abou Yaghi.
