The people side, made deliberate.
Most companies don't have an HR problem — they have an unclear one. Roles blur, the wrong person is hired for the right seat, and policies live in someone's head. We make the people side of your business as deliberate as the strategy: clear structure, the right hires, and standards written down for everyone.
One team, clearly connected — every role defined, every line intentional.
The challenge, honestly named
Hi — we're Manara's HR practice. The people problems that quietly cost the most are rarely dramatic. They're structural, and they compound.
How we help you show up as an employer
Organisational design
Clear roles, structures and reporting lines — so accountability is obvious and the right work reaches the right seat. We turn an implicit org into an intentional one.
Recruiting & selection
From a real job definition to structured sourcing, screening and selection — a bias‑aware recruiting process, so you stop hiring for the seat you have and start hiring for the seat you actually need.
HR policies & handbooks
The rules, written down — leave, conduct, remote work, grievance and more — consistent, fair, and aligned to Lebanese labour law. No more policy living in someone's head.
Performance & development
Simple, honest frameworks for goals, reviews and growth — so feedback is regular, expectations are shared, and people can see a path forward.
Compensation, benefits & insurance
Pay and benefit structures that are fair internally and competitive externally — salary bands, health insurance, NSSF and end‑of‑service indemnity, and clear progression, with far fewer awkward conversations.
Diversity, equity & multicultural teams
Inclusive hiring and team design across cultures, languages and generations — turning the multicultural talent of Lebanon, MENA and the Gulf into a genuine advantage rather than a source of friction.
Culture & engagement
Retention, onboarding and employer brand — the deliberate work of making people want to join, stay and do their best. Culture as a system, not a slogan.
Employment & compliance
Contracts and HR compliance in Arabic, English and French, aligned to Lebanese labour law — with our Legal practice on hand when a matter needs formal counsel.
Fractional HR partner
For teams too small for a full HR function: a steady, senior hand on retainer — the people side handled deliberately, without the overhead of a hire.
The 7‑S lens — how we read an organisation
Before we change anything, we diagnose. We use the classic 7‑S framework to see how the hard and soft sides of your organisation line up — because a new strategy fails if the skills, systems and shared values don't move with it. Climb it rung by rung — hover or tap each to explore.
Frequently asked questions
What does an HR consultancy actually do?
We make the people side of a business as deliberate as its strategy: defining roles and structure, hiring the right person for the right seat, writing the policies that usually live in someone's head, and building fair performance and pay frameworks — all compliant with Lebanese labour law.
We're a small team — is this for us?
Especially. Small teams feel a mis‑hire or an unclear role hardest. We right‑size everything to your stage, so you get structure without bureaucracy — including a fractional HR partner if a full function isn't yet warranted.
Can you help with one problem rather than a full retainer?
Yes. Engagements range from a single piece of work — an employee handbook, an org chart, a hiring process — to ongoing HR partnership. Tell us the problem and we scope it honestly.
Do you handle employment contracts and compliance?
Yes, in Arabic, English and French, aligned to Lebanese labour law — and where a matter needs formal legal counsel we coordinate with our Legal practice.
How much does it cost?
It depends on scope and whether it's a one‑off or ongoing. Use the consultation form to describe what you need and we return an honest assessment and a fee proposal.
