Now no longer known as Chairman of Emaar, Mohamed Alabbar has announced that staff will no longer have job titles at the Dubai-based company.
The decision to abolish job titles at Emaar was explained to staff members in an internal email that has been seen by Arabian Business. It read: “When you reach the end of this email, you will notice something different. I have no job title. And from this moment onwards, nor do you.”
Alabbar went on to explain that because of the global pandemic, the business has decided to focus on its culture and concentrate on the talent within its company rather than the titles they have. Moving forward, business cards will now only highlight the name and the department of the employee.
After taking a 100 per cent pay cut at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis back in April, Alabbar added: “For Emaar to continue to succeed, it is vital that every single one of our employees feels empowered to contribute. They must be motivated by their talent and the work they do.
