Day 33

Today morning when I reached the office I found on each desk red rose with nice card” Good Morning” from the HR director. Really I like that and we all were happy because that motivated us to work and made a positive contribution to the team.

Ms. Asma gave some tasks to do in the Excel sheet. However, I couldn’t do them since I face a problem with the computer so I contact the IT department to fix it. I used Mr. Majid laptop to work. Furthermore, it’s the first time for me to type Arabic letters in Dubai Chamber because as I observed they use English in their letters and documents.

I attended the weekly meeting and during the meeting I asked them about the presentation time regarding my work experience and they decided it to be at 11: am. Moreover, they asked me to attend a useful training next Wednesday 8/4/2009 and the subject is “Sustainable Human Resources Management “. It’s for one day only.

After the meeting I worked on my presentation slides for tomorrow.

Day 32

Company: Dubai Chamber
Department: HR
Supervisor: Asma Abdulla

Today I was dissatisfied that I had nothing to do!! It’s the last week for me to work in Dubai Chamber and I want to perform tasks. I asked my colleagues to help them and they sent me some excel sheets to update. Moreover, after the housekeeping day we found many certificates and files needed to be scanned. I scanned them and I took a tour to distribute the employees’ certificates. I was glad that most of the employees know me and I realized that I can interact with the people easy maybe that’s why I am an HR student.

Day 31

Company: Dubai Chamber
Department: HR
Supervisor: Asma Abdulla

Today at approximately 9:20 am Ms. Asma called me to inform that she might be late because of the rain and bad traffic jam. However, she wanted me to receive the officer from one of the training companies and try to offer him drink until she arrives. I did what she requested. The time passed and she didn’t come. So I asked the manager to Mr. Majid to meet him instead of wasting more time.

I submitted the assignment regarding the best careers in the companies and the benefits, compensations and training development that they offer. In addition, the manager liked my work and asked me to search more companies that operate in UAE not just the international companies. I added Ritz Carlton Hotel, Shangri la Hotel, Shell international, BP, DIFC and DP world. By the end of the day I sent it again but at this time he said the excellent work no need to add more things. Moreover, ha was glad that I submitted the work before the deadline day. In addition, that increased my knowledge about the HR in different companies that each company has its own way to attract the talented people to work with them.

Actually it was very fun and we got benefits from this exercise since we focused on the working environment around us. For example, the employees were not satisfied with the filing system and they don’t have more spaces for the new files, so they got rid of all the old files for the previous year. Moreover, the director also participated in this day and the employees were happy for that and we took a lot of photos. In addition, we collected all the used papers in the recycling box and sent it to the responsible business department; it’s a sign that the employees in Dubai Chamber are aware of the importance of the recycling in the environment.

Today is Thursday….All the employees are happy but when you ask them what are their planes for their weekend, their response is: Nothing or staying at home!!
Ms. Nadia asked me to conduct a search about the good places in Dubai to visit. So I created a word document about some ideas that I wanted to share for some activities that they can plan with their family and friends during their weekend. I think weekend is the time to chill out and take a break from work. Actually, they like the tips for the weekend the places that I choose for them.

I scanned some files and enter them in Jupiter.

I created an excel sheet regarding the employees mobile numbers to be easily to contact them when they are not in the work.
