Aimed at HR professionals, organisational leaders, and policymakers, the book brings a fresh perspective to the evolving world of human resources — one that honours cultural traditions while embracing global innovation. Through real-world case studies, practical frameworks, and deeply contextual insights.

With nearly two decades of experience in strategic HR across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the UK, Dr Mostafa Ahmed Ghanima brings a wealth of expertise to his writing. Holding a PhD in HR Leadership and Business Strategy, he also boasts executive certifications from prestigious institutions including Wharton, Cornell University, and the John Maxwell Academy. His approach blends cutting-edge disciplines such as people analytics, organizational design, and leadership development — all grounded in the cultural realities of the Arab world.

The book is already generating buzz among HR circles in the region, with early reviewers praising its relevance in a time of economic diversification, digital transformation, and changing workforce dynamics. It highlights how Middle Eastern businesses can remain globally competitive while staying true to their cultural identity — a balance many regional leaders are seeking.

Set to be released in multiple formats including hardcover, e-book, and audiobook (narrated by the author himself), Transforming the future of HR in the Middle East will be available through major platforms like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play. Its December launch aligns with the HR Transformation and Leadership Forums taking place across the region.

At its core, the book is not just about process or policy — it’s a call to action for a new generation of HR leaders in the Middle East, inviting them to innovate without erasing tradition.
