ANJ Group appoints Dr Ashfaq Ahad as Chief People Officer

ANJ Group has appointed Dr Ashfaq Ahad as Chief People Officer (CPO), reinforcing the company’s people foundation as it scales. The CPO role spans talent strategy, organization design, and culture, tying hiring plans to market demand, codifying career architecture, and clarifying pathways for experts and managers alike. Ahad’s focus includes professionalizing the operating model: workforce planning synced to project pipelines, structured onboarding that speeds time-to-productivity, and manager toolkits that make feedback and performance conversations routine, not episodic. Learning will be treated as a system, role curricula, safety and compliance refreshers, and leadership programs calibrated to each level. In parallel, rewards will tilt toward transparency and fairness, with pay ranges, progression criteria, and recognition mapped to measurable contribution. On the culture front, the CPO office will nurture inclusion, wellbeing, and ethical conduct, ensuring policies are simple to read and easy to apply in the field. For a business built on precision and deadlines, people operations are a competitive advantage: predictable staffing, fewer handoff losses, and clear accountability. Ahad’s mandate is to turn HR from support into a multiplier, so every project benefits from better staffing, faster execution, and a workplace where teams can do their best work.
