Galadari Brothers, one of UAE’s largest conglomerates with businesses spanning automotive, retail, publishing and hospitality industries has selected Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud to transform its employee experience and prepare for the next generation of the workforce.

With more than 30 global brands in its portfolio and more than 6000 employees, Galadari Brothers needed an integrated recruitment platform to accelerate the hiring process and improve talent acquisition. Oracle HCM Cloud will help Galadari Brothers Group create an integrated recruitment platform to help attract and retain the best talent. Furthermore, the implementation will also help integrate key functions including core HR, talent management, payroll, time-tracking and work life solutions to provide real-time visibility into HR performance.

“At Galadari Group, we have embarked on a major cloud business transformation to create a more customer-focused and data-led organization that is equipped to deliver personalized experiences,” said Mohamed Yahya Kazi Meeran, Group CEO, Galadari Brothers.

“Part of this transformation involved reimagining human resources to help us to better attract and retain the best talent. Oracle HCM Cloud will help us create an automated HR platform to introduce several self-service features that will free up employees from mundane jobs and create opportunities for employees to deliver more strategic tasks”, he added.

“New technologies, both in the workplace and in our personal lives, are drastically changing employee expectations. The next generation workforce is used to using emerging technology like AI and digital assistants in their everyday lives, and they want that same experience in the workplace as well,” said Rahul Misra, Vice President – Business Applications, Lower Gulf, Oracle. “As a result, HR professionals and business leaders are being forced to adapt to these digital-first mindsets and create an improved workplace experience that will both attract and retain top talent. With Oracle HCM Cloud’s built-in AI capabilities and customer-first approach, Galadari Group will be able to make work more human and succeed in this new normal.”

According to Manish Bindra, Group CIO, Galadari Brothers, successful organisations are those that are customer-centric, for which, being employee-centric is a pre-requisite. “We believe that Oracle HCM Cloud, built with AI-first approach, will not only contribute in keeping the employees engaged but also empower them and foster collaboration and innovation. With this implementation, we are building a platform where both ‘digital workers’ and ‘human employees’ will work together to achieve our organisational objectives.”

Echoing the Group’s efforts towards adopting an integrated hiring platform, Manoj Kumar, Group CHRO at Galadari Brothers, said: “To me, digitalisation equals productivity. A digital mindset is imperative for HR transformation, that coupled with the right technology not only improves processes and increases efficiency but also enhances scalability and infuses agility in the system, and most importantly is gives HR teams the bandwidth to do the jobs they are meant to do.”

Galadari Brothers Group is also implementing Oracle Customer Experience (CX) Cloud Application to drive robust customer engagement, streamline its sales efforts with artificial intelligence-enabled applications, and enhance productivity with voice-activated mobile interfaces.
