The HR Department You Need, Without the Overhead You Don’t.
You didn’t start your business to manage employee leave requests, chase payroll deadlines, or decode MOHRE regulations. But here you are—spending 30-40% of your leadership time on HR administration instead of growth.
Element’s HR outsourcing service in Dubai gives you a complete, professional HR function without hiring a single internal HR resource. We handle everything: recruitment, onboarding, daily operations, payroll, compliance, performance reviews, training, engagement, and strategic planning. You focus on building your business. We handle the people side.
HR Outsourcing in Dubai
What HR Outsourcing Includes
When you outsource your HR to element, you get a dedicated team that operates as your in-house HR department:
Recruitment & Talent Acquisition
End-to-end hiring: job analysis, sourcing, screening, interviews, offers, and onboarding. We don’t just post ads and wait; we actively hunt the right people through direct outreach, referral networks, and targeted campaigns. Average time-to-fill: 21 days.
Employee Onboarding & Documentation
Professional orientation programs, employment contracts, visa coordination support, HRMS setup, and structured 30/60/90-day integration plans. First impressions matter. We make sure every new hire feels welcomed, informed, and productive from day one.
Daily HR Operations
All employee queries, letters, certificates, leave management, attendance tracking, and administrative tasks handled by our operations team. Your managers stop playing HR and start leading.
Payroll Processing (WPS-Compliant)
Complete salary processing, overtime calculations, bonus payments, deductions, WPS file generation, bank submissions, and government reporting. 100% accuracy guarantee. On-time, every time.
UAE Compliance & Emiratisation
Continuous monitoring of UAE labor law requirements, MOHRE filings, Emiratisation quota tracking, visa management coordination, and regulatory updates. You stay compliant without thinking about it.
Performance Management
Goal setting, review cycles, feedback frameworks, development planning, and performance improvement programs. We design the system, train your managers to use it, and facilitate reviews when needed.
Training & Development
Skills gap analysis, training calendar development, program delivery, and learning management. From technical skills to leadership development, we build your people’s capabilities systematically.
People & Culture Initiatives
Employee engagement surveys, action planning, team-building programs, recognition systems, and culture diagnostics. We create workplaces where people want to stay and perform.
HR Technology & Automation
HRMS selection, implementation, configuration, and ongoing management. Self-service portals, digital workflows, and automated reporting—making your HR function efficient and paperless.
Strategic HR Leadership
C-level guidance on workforce planning, organizational design, succession planning, and people strategy. The strategic thinking of a CHRO without the AED 600,000+ annual salary.
Cost Comparison
The Real Cost of In-House vs. Outsourced HR in Dubai
Building an internal HR department in Dubai requires at minimum: 1 HR Manager (AED 15,000-25,000/month salary), visa and benefits costs (AED 3,000-5,000/month), HRMS software licenses (AED 1,000-3,000/month), training and professional development (AED 500-1,000/month), and office infrastructure. Total: AED 20,000-35,000/month minimum—for a single person who may or may not have the breadth of expertise your growing business needs.
element’s outsourced HR retainer covers an entire team of specialists (recruiter, HR operations, payroll, senior consultant) for a fraction of that cost. Our packages for SMEs with 10-50 employees typically range from AED 5,000-15,000 per month depending on scope. That’s a 40-65% cost saving while getting access to deeper expertise.
