Careertunity.com, S P Jain organise 'Minds' forum in Dubai to address employee engagement challenges

The inaugural Minds forum, organised under the theme "Performance with fulfilment - why we need both", was held at the Dubai International Academic City, seeking to address key challenges in driving employee engagement. A recent survey has revealed that up to 91% of business organisations intend to focus on employee engagement by improving leadership and staff management capabilities.

Stephan Melchior, Managing Director and Consultant of Wilson Learning, Middle East and a 10-year veteran in training professionals from over 20 countries, served as the keynote speaker of the forum, which targeted HR managers and senior professionals. The Minds forum will be held once every two months and will offer a wide array of interactive, educational activities, including workshops, training, seminars, debates and speaker sessions.

Sudeshna Mukherjee, General Manager, Careertunity.com, said:

"Effective employee management is increasingly becoming a vital component in the long-term strategy and success of any organisation. It is our goal to cultivate a culture of quality and high-level competency among HR professionals and decision makers in the business community, which we believe will result in enhanced business performance. We have worked closely with S P Jain to develop the basic framework of the Minds forum, which is primarily geared towards HR Managers and senior professionals in the UAE."

Dr. Christopher Abraham, Sr. Vice President - Business development, S P Jain Institute of Management, said, "It is our goal to highlight the value and benefits of cultivating a more proactive participation of employees, particularly in the decision-making process.
