General Manager

After several years of working in the labor market in Saudi Arabia, particularly in Jeddah, I’ve experienced a range of environments that have shaped my understanding of effective team dynamics, leadership, and career growth. My first role was in IT as a Help Desk specialist, where I faced challenges related to an unclear team structure and no clear career path. Being the only Saudi on the team, I found myself in an awkward position. Colleagues from abroad often viewed me as a potential threat rather than an asset, and I struggled to find proper guidance. The pressure from HR to promote Saudization also added tension, making it difficult to integrate fully with my team. My next opportunity was with a company that had ambitious plans to establish a new IT services division. Although we worked well for a while, the pandemic led to the closure of the project, and I had to leave. I then transitioned to the FMCG industry, where I worked with a supportive team and had ample growth opportunities. However, after six months, key members of my team left, leaving me in a situation where the new team lacked clear planning. Despite my efforts to keep things on track, there was little recognition or focus on my career development. My attempts to discuss this with my new manager were met with vague responses like, "it depends on you," which left me without proper guidance. Later, I moved to another FMCG company, but this time, the environment was quite toxic due to internal conflicts between my manager and HR. I was wrongly perceived as a threat to my manager’s position, which made it impossible to build a harmonious team dynamic. Having reflected on these experiences, I’ve learned some important lessons. First, being a team player and building trust with your manager is crucial. HR won’t always be able to mediate these situations. If the manager fails to foster a positive relationship with their team, it can easily lead to a toxic work environment. As someone still growing in their career, I believe it’s essential for companies, HR teams, and managers to listen to employees and understand their experiences. Building a culture of open communication and trust can make all the difference in creating a healthy and productive workplace. #CareerGrowth #EmployeeExperience #TeamDynamics #Leadership #CareerDevelopment #HR #WorkplaceCulture #FMCG #ITIndustry #SaudiLaborMarket #Jeddah #Saudization #Automation #DataAnalysis #BusinessIntelligence

Challenges in Saudi Hospitality Industry The hospitality industry in Saudi Arabia has immense potential, but certain challenges persist that push many employees to leave their jobs early, even when they have more then one-year contracts. Delayed salaries—sometimes by 3-4 months—are common in some companies, and management often lacks accountability, while HR struggles to resolve basic concerns. Staff benefits can also be inadequate. Accommodations are sometimes poorly maintained, with no proper cooking or washing facilities, and employees may have to share rooms with three others. Additionally, some leaders resist change and avoid improving themselves or their systems. When employees suggest ideas for improvement, they’re often met with hostility instead of support. That said, not all companies operate this way. There are organizations that value their employees and provide a professional and supportive work environment. For anyone considering a move to Saudi Arabia, I recommend researching the company thoroughly before accepting a role. Understanding the culture, systems, and management style can help you avoid regretting your decision later. This is my experience, but I’d love to hear from others: Do you agree with these points, or have you faced similar issues? Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments! #hospitality #Saudiarabia #restaurants #jobseekers #hiring #GCC #saudi #challenges #management #HR #hospitalityjob.

👨🏫 I have a hypothesis. 😍 Entrepreneurs have the dream job. And its not because I believe for one moment all the humblebragging and hyperbole they post on social media. (who does?) 💪 It's because they exhibit high levels of fearlessness and disclose what they do is what they want to do, not what others have designed. 👨🎓 In other words Job dreamt = Job designed = Job done = Job disclosed. 💔 Unfortunately, in most organisations, there is a massive disconnect between these elements. 😎 When people discover the job they are prescribed to do has been designed by others and it isn't what they imagined, they end up doing something in between. They rarely disclose the reality in fear of being punished for non-compliance. Psychological safety eliminates this fear. I will be discussing this and other aspects of Psychological Safety at the Saudi Employee Experience Conference on Tuesday in Riyadh. Looking forward to it. #SafePlacesToWork #WeveGotYourBack #EmployeeExperience
