Oman Airport Management Company S.A.O.C.
Testimonial:
People First, led by Asma Bajawa, supported Oman Airports Management Company to undertake a strategically critical project to review and redevelop the company's organisational structure. The project included developing new job descriptions, making recommendations for new grade and pay scales and revising the HR policies to reflect the new structure. People First perfectly met project deadlines and were able to develop a structure that achieved OAMC Requirements.

HR Manager
We are extremely pleased and satisfied with the result and value add by PeopleFirst team in restructuring of OAMC HR function right through organisation chart, job evaluation, grading structure and most critically mapping of existing work force to the new structure. The project was one of the major HR restructuring in the government owned enterprises in recent time. PeopleFirst and it's team truly recognised the value of the project since its inception and delivered it as per expectation of all stakeholders in general and MOF in particular being the sole owner of the company. We believe that the result of this project will go a long way in revamping the OAMC in order to shoulder extra responsibility of the new Muscat airport and other regional airports in Oman

The KEF Company Ltd
Testimonial:
We have had the pleasure of working very closely with PeopleFirst since July 2012. Asma Bajawa and her team have helped our Group develop an organizational structure and effective HR strategy providing clarity and focus to every employee enabling them to reach a common goal. PeopleFirst were instrumental in helping us define and articulate KEF's culture, vision, mission and values.
PeopleFirst also helped us put organization-wide, HR policies and procedures into place that are benchmarked against international fair and transparent, best practices. PeopleFirst also ensured a smooth transition for the new policies and procedures to be transmitted down the organizational structure so that every employee has clear understanding of the daily operation of our organization in respect to our people.
Our HR department also gained tremendously from PeopleFirst in the design, development and implementation of retention strategies to attract and retain top talent for KEF.
PeopleFirst's combination of strategic thinking, customized and innovative HR solutions and highly responsive client relations is something that is unique and much needed in the HR Consulting industry. Our experience with the team at PeopleFirst has been tremendously rewarding so far and we would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other organizations.

EGA
Testimonial:
EGA engaged with PeopleFirst to partner with on the development of a new employee handbook. From the moment we met with the team, we were impressed with their experience and the practical approach they took to the project. Roschelle Poppen was assigned to work full time on-site with us for a period of two months. The energy and professionalism Roschelle demonstrated was excellent. The work was of the highest quality and although we were dealing with Roschelle on a day-to-day basis we understood from the beginning that she had full support from her colleagues through rigorous internal review processes. This working model was really effective and by having Roschelle on-site we were able to provide real-time answers to the many questions around EGA’s Human Capital policies and procedures. In total People First helped us with:
· Drafting of EGA’s first employee handbook;
· Summarising key Human Capital policies in easy-to-read sheets for use by Human Capital employees; and
· The development of a detailed FAQs to support in the launch of our new Human Capital Help Line.
All of the deliverables were of a very high quality with the language simple and well thought through. We would certainly consider People First for any future work and recommend them to anyone requiring external HR consulting support. With PeopleFirst you get experienced people, willing to spend time on-site working closely with you but with the back-up of the People First team’s quality reviews. All in all very satisfied with People First’s work. Joseph CooperSenior Manager - HC Projects, Organization Effectiveness & HC Projects Human Capital
