Efficiently balancing professional and personal life

It is encouraging to see that more and more women today are proactively pursuing their career goals with confidence in fields and disciplines of their own choice. Organisations can provide them with more training support and equal access to opportunities to help them advance in their professions and become qualified to hold leadership positions. Through my 10 years of working at Ajman Free Zone, I have been given an opportunity to improve my experience and knowledge and widen my horizon. I have become more confident and ambitious, still actively going after my career objectives.

Most challenging

Being a working mother is highly challenging. Finding a balance between work and family life is difficult but possible. Other challenges include coming up with new and unique projects that can add value to my company and implementing innovative strategies to achieve significant outcomes according to our business growth objectives.

Most engaging

As an HR team leader, I engage with most employees. This, along with a friendly work environment, is one of the most satisfying aspects of my job. I also feel a sense of achievement, with the top management always motivating us to challenge ourselves by taking on new projects.
