Dubai Duty Free currently employs more
than 3500 staff of 43 different nationalities
and is one of the premier “employers
of choice” in the UAE. This is evidenced
by the fact that the company received
more than 45,000 unsolicited job applications
during the last year.
The company has a long standing policy
of “promotion from within”,
resulting in only two entry-level positions
being recruited for externally –
Sales Assistant in the Retail Operations
area and Stores Assistant in the Warehouse
environment.
All other back-office support functions
(Marketing, HR, Finance, Purchasing, IT,
secretarial, etc) and supervisory positions
are recruited and developed internally,
while the vast majority of managerial
level vacancies are also filled from inside
the organisation. This policy provides
for the maximum possible career growth
and development opportunities for Dubai
Duty Free staff and is one of the reasons
why the company has an enviable staff
turnover ratio and high levels of employee
loyalty and commitment.
The Company welcomes candidates of any
and every nationality as is proud of its
non-discriminatory promotion, career development
and compensation practices, particularly
with regard to nationality and gender.
“Cultural diversity” training
is one of the compulsory early training
events for any new employee. The company
provides a competitive compensation and
benefits package, while the remuneration
system is reviewed on an ongoing basis
to ensure we are able to attract and retain
the right caliber of employee.
Once an employee of Dubai Duty Free, one
can apply through the internal selection
process to a wide variety of career opportunities
in operational areas such as customer
service, visual display and merchandising,
security, and brand-specific Beauty Advisors
and dedicated merchandising specialists.
Similarly, ongoing opportunities exist
in the back office support functions mentioned
above, as well as promotion to supervisory
and management level positions.
The internal advancement policy is supported
by a very active training and development
infrastructure, including an E-Learning
facility where more than 200 different
training programs are available. Some
of these are compulsory when transferred
or promoted to certain positions, while
many staff elects to complete programs
of their choice through the Internet from
their place of residence or dedicated
facilities in the company offices.
In this modern day and age, the Company
still manages to make employees feel part
of the “DDF family”, the result
of a strongly people-focused management
culture and practices. We look forward
to welcome successful applicants to this
family and for them to become a part of
the Dubai Duty Free success story.
