PEOPLE RESOURCING STRATEGIES
Introduction
This report reflects the key understanding on the human resources management issues
and undertaken business activities in the process. In this report, Port of Duqm Company has
been chosen to complete the HRM issues and development plan. Port of Duqm is situated on
the southeastern coastline of the Sultanate of Oman, watching the Arabian Sean away from
the Indian Ocean. The Port of Duqm has a spread-out basin, deep draft & prolonged quay
walls. The Port of Duqm Company is a combined venture (50:50) between Consortium
Antwerp Port (CAP) and Sultanate of Oman. The Consortium Antwerp Port is a Belgian
confederation which comprises Port of Antwerp (second biggest port in Europe) and Rent-A-
Port (a company which is specialized in management and development of the port). An
agreement was signed in the year 2011 with Omani government through which Port of Duqm
Company (PDC) established an allowance to manage, maneuver and maintain the overall
market of Port of Diqm for 28 years. Therefore, PDC oversees the overall management and
administration of the port area. Along with the agreement, PDC has the power to govern the
navigation carried around the boundaries of port (portduqm, 2019).
An employment life cycle incorporates numerous stages in an employee’s career starting with
the enlistment and ending with resignation, termination or retirement. An employment life
cycle is fragmented into six stages, which are, Attraction, Recruitment, Onboarding,
Development, Retention, and Separation. The report will elaborate about the employment life
cycle in Port of Duqm Company and further, challenges of the employment life cycle in the
company will also be illuminated (Goldstein, et. al., 2017).
The fact is tacit that people resourcing strategies are imperative for achieving sustainability;
PDC resourcing strategies effectively for reducing employee turnover and increasing
employee satisfaction. PDC ensures that only the best people are recruited and they are
provided with good training sessions to make them competent with the errands that are
included in their job profile. The company upholds ethical behaviour in the workplace and
ensures that there are workplace equality and well-being. The report will deliberate on the
people resourcing strategies adopted by the Port of Duqm Company in the employment life
cycle (Pilbeam & Corbridge, 2010).
