EgyptWhat I'm looking for
I’m a CIPD-qualified HR Advisor and HR Technology-minded people partner with 5+ years’ experience across the employee lifecycle in Egypt. I’ve partnered with executives and line managers to embed HR strategy across departments to support business growth and engagement goals.
I design and deliver data-driven people initiatives—building an internal HR analytics dashboard, launching an AI-powered HR chatbot, and improving retention and employee experience. My work reduced external consultancy costs, cut reporting turnaround time by one month, and lowered HR query resolution time by over 60%.
I also drive performance and engagement through a company-wide performance management system and a redesigned 90-day onboarding engagement model. I introduce clear policies, support leadership through system transitions with targeted communication and workshops, and use analytics from exit interviews and turnover reporting to strengthen retention.
