HR Advisory
Hiring the right talent is just the beginning
Finding and hiring the right individuals is just the first step to success. The business world is constantly evolving, with changing demographics, technology and regulatory frameworks posing new opportunities and challenges for organisations. In this atmosphere, it becomes vital to manage, motivate and retain talent.
The importance of attracting and retaining the right team is starkly highlighted by statistics – with employee engagement being far from abstract. Organisations that prioritise employee engagement see a 41% reduction in absenteeism, as well as 59% less turnover. An engaged employee is an employee that works with a sense of purpose and passion. Ultimately, this impacts an organisation’s bottom line: highly engaged teams show 21% profitability.
At Cooper Fitch, we create attraction and retention strategies to prepare your business for the future, strengthen your position as a market leader and employer of choice.
How we can help.
Aside from developing human-focused strategies that have been designed specifically for the Middle East, we design assessment centres tailored for your organisational needs, analyze a variety of skills and aptitudes and conduct leadership profiling. Online tools are becoming increasingly common among our clients as a way to streamline internal or external search and selection processes and improve efficiency.
As part of this process, Cooper Fitch’s HR Advisory team can develop strategies to identify an individual’s strength and weaknesses, and suggest steps for improvement and further professional development.
Additionally, we can use several internal tools to analyse the market and provide an accurate salary, bonus and benefits structure, which is often a key building block of global mobility strategies for organisations looking to enter the Middle East.
Lastly, we’re prepared to help protect your business by developing the policies, procedures and employment legislation to keep your business running smoothly.

Understanding capability & potential
Executive Assessment
Executive leaders bear the most significant responsibility towards their employees, shareholders, investors, clients and community. They lead the way through economic change, cultural transformations, new markets and strategic shifts. Thus, executives require specialised skills which are quite often difficult to gauge in traditional interviews and call for further intensive testing. Executives must be challenged and measured for essential qualities and personality traits such as motivation, strengths and weakness, risk-taking, strategic thinking, commercial acumen and change management.
Our specialist HR Advisory practice at Cooper Fitch has developed exclusive, dynamic testing centres to assist your businesses in talent progression. Executive Assessments are a critical tool that helps companies get engaged in the talent selection process or to identify areas of strength and weakness with your existing teams and suggesting steps for improvement and development.
We design our assessment centres around you and your needs; we have the ability to feature panel interviews, bespoke competency-based interview tailored to your organisations’ key goals and values, online assessments, case studies and simulations, presentations and independent consultation.
Psychometric assessments with a focus on team leadership are also often used to identify high-potentials as part of the succession planning and “career progression into manager” positions. Quite often, these are applied to an internal pool of candidates but can also be very useful when seeking leaders. The benefits of such tools also assist in managing the integration of a new leader into an organisation.
