What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote HR role that values people-centric approaches and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 9 years of diverse HR experience, I have honed my skills in recruitment, employee engagement, and performance management. My journey has taken me from India to Dubai, where I spent 7 years developing a robust understanding of HR operations in a multicultural environment. I am adept at navigating complex HR policies and compliance, particularly within the UAE labor laws, which has equipped me to manage diverse teams effectively.

In my most recent role as Group HR Manager at Classic Properties in Dubai, I led end-to-end recruitment processes, designed impactful HR policies, and implemented employee engagement initiatives that significantly improved retention rates. My commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture is evident in my ability to introduce training programs and drive employee engagement activities. I am now seeking a remote role that allows me to leverage my HR expertise and contribute to a growth-oriented organization.
