United Arab Emirates

What UAE organizations outsource first

Most of our UAE engagements begin the same way: a growing organization whose support functions have not kept pace with it. A holding company adds entities faster than its payroll can absorb them; a government-mandated authority stands up operations before it has an HR team; a hospitality group opens outlets on rosters and spreadsheets.

Synergi was incepted in the UAE in 2023 and runs engagements here across HR and payroll, recruitment, accounting, procurement, technology and marketing - delivered as consulting, manpower augmentation or full outsourcing, and usually as more than one of the three.

The deepest track record is in HR and payroll: running end-to-end payroll for more than 750 people across a sovereign investor's portfolio, placing a dedicated on-site HR team inside an Abu Dhabi government entity, and building HR functions for hospitality groups and growing businesses.

Run, not just advised

UAE clients keep us to run the function: payroll cycles, HR helpdesks, recruitment pipelines and procurement transactions, under agreed service levels - with consulting and augmentation wrapped around it where needed.

Why Synergi in the UAE

Home-grown, and still here

The UAE is where Synergi was incepted and where most of our delivery has happened. What clients get is a partner that designs the function, then actually runs it, at a size where the work gets senior attention.

The deepest delivery record

Payroll for 750+ staff across a sovereign portfolio, an on-site HR team inside a government entity, and HR transformations across hospitality - most of our case studies are UAE engagements.

Compliance built in

Payroll and people processes run under UAE labour law and each client's own governance, with audits and compliance reporting as deliverables, not afterthoughts.

Scales with the engagement

Consulting, manpower augmentation and full outsourcing are one relationship at three sizes, delivered onshore and offshore - and UAE engagements often start with one function and add others.

Questions

Questions we are asked about outsourcing in the UAE

Do you deliver on-site in the UAE or remotely?

Both, engagement by engagement. Some clients take a dedicated on-site team inside their own offices, under their governance; others run with our offshore delivery centres coordinated by one engagement lead. Most engagements combine the two.

Can you run payroll in compliance with UAE labour law?

Yes - that is the core of our largest UAE engagement: the full payroll lifecycle for more than 750 people, run in compliance with UAE labour law and each entity's own policies, with audits and compliance reporting as standing deliverables.

We are early-stage and have no HR function at all. Where do you start?

That is a common UAE starting point. We stand up the basics first - policies, payroll on agreed cycles, an HR helpdesk and recruitment support - then add systems and reporting as the organization grows. One of our case studies covers exactly this journey for an Abu Dhabi business.

Which functions can be combined in one engagement?

Any of the six we run: HR, accounting, procurement, technology and AI, marketing and project management. UAE engagements often start with one function and add others under the same engagement lead.
