Hi all

I have just started my journey to complete my CIPD Level 5 People and Management although I have been working in this sector for the past 8 years in the UK.  I thought the time was right to do some personal learning and development.  Your are never too old to learn?!

My question:  Is it usual, here in the UAE to add People and Culture activities to an HR Job Description.  

The reason I ask is I am currently looking for a role, actually I have been looking for the past 10 months but to no avail.  As an Employee Engagement SME, I figured my experience fits within People and Culture but I am seeing more and more job titles called People and Culture manager, with a JD with HR roles and responsibilities.  

Do you have any advice, as although I have worked closely with colleagues in HR, I don’t have payroll or legal experience, and certainly not in the UAE.

Any advice would be gratefully received.
