Sharjah24: Reflecting its commitment to innovation and empowering human capital, Sharjah Asset Management, the investment arm of the Government of Sharjah, has launched the "Sahim" electronic suggestion system. This initiative seeks to turn employee ideas into tangible results and encourage a culture of creativity and ongoing improvement within the workplace.

Commitment to innovation and empowerment

Ibrahim Al Houti, Chief Officer of the Executive Office at Sharjah Asset Management, said, “The launch of the 'Sahim' system reflects our commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and empowering employees, who are the key human capital in our ongoing development. It also promotes healthy competition and encourages staff to contribute to improving the work environment and enhancing our services—ultimately adding value to both the company and the wider community in the Emirate of Sharjah.”

Space for employee creativity

Al Houti added, “The 'Sahim' employee suggestion system has been created to offer an interactive space that encourages employees to express themselves and be creative. We are dedicated to reviewing every suggestion with accuracy, fairness, and transparency, while rewarding ideas that make a genuine impact. Our aim is for every employee to feel that their voice is heard and that their ideas can create a real difference.”

Areas of focus for suggestions

The system encourages all employees to share their ideas across various areas, such as improving internal processes, suggesting initiatives to reduce costs and improve service quality for stakeholders, promoting employee safety and well-being, and fostering technological innovations in line with future trends. Employees can easily submit their suggestions via the Sahim suggestion platform, where proposals are regularly reviewed to maximise benefits.

Review and reward mechanism

A specialised committee, consisting of executive directors from the company's key sectors, is tasked with thoroughly and transparently reviewing all submitted suggestions. The most impactful and feasible ideas are chosen and rewarded with cash prizes, in-kind rewards, and non-monetary incentives, including public recognition and opportunities for professional development. This approach promotes a culture of excellence, encouraging active participation and creativity among staff.

Motivation and engagement platform

The platform provides all employees with a transparent and easy-to-use space to share their ideas, offering both monetary and non-monetary rewards for feasible proposals, thereby boosting motivation for engagement and innovation.
