What GMS does
Five practices, run by one Cairo team: the administrative machinery of employment, the development of the people inside it, and the cultural readiness they need to work across borders.
01
We relieve employers of the personnel-management burden for support staff, temporary workers, consultants and core hires — handling payroll, salary tax, social security, and medical and life insurance end to end.
Explore HR Outsourcing & Payroll02
We work hand in hand with clients to create blended learning tracks for every organizational level — combining training, coaching conversations and systemic frameworks so learning lasts beyond the workshop.
Explore Learning & Development03
A developmental approach that treats an organization as a living web of relationships, hierarchies, loyalties and motivations — working with system dynamics instead of symptomatic quick fixes.
Explore Systemic Consulting04
An interactive, goal-oriented process designed to help individuals develop rapidly, focused on performance and behavior.
Explore Executive Coaching05
Structured preparation for professionals crossing cultures — expatriates arriving in Egypt and Egyptian executives taking assignments overseas — so they read the environment accurately, build relationships faster, and reach full productivity in a fraction of the usual time.
Explore Cultural OrientationGMS or an internal hire
An internal HR and payroll function means recruiting, salaries, benefits and cover for absence. GMS is one contract you can scale up or down.
We take on the legal obligations around salaries, deductions and worker's compensation rather than handing your team a checklist.
Payroll, labor law, benefits, training, systemic consulting and coaching sit in one Cairo team, available when each is needed.
More than 25 years of Egyptian payroll and people practice, already tested across industry, banking, healthcare and education.
When an internal HR manager resigns, the knowledge leaves. Our process, records and coverage stay in place.
Engagements are quoted as fixed fees against a written scope, so finance can budget the people function precisely.
For SMEs & startups
Startups and small-to-medium enterprises face leaner teams, tighter budgets and pressure to move quickly. GMS gives growing businesses access to proven HR administration, payroll, benefits and people development without the overhead of an in-house function.
Administration for drivers, assistants, temporary staff and core hires alike, scaled to your headcount and stage of growth.
Salary tax, social security, medical and life insurance handled without requiring an internal HR hire.
Leadership and team-development programs designed for smaller, fast-moving teams rather than scaled-down corporate templates.
Focused executive and systemic coaching for founders navigating growth, transition or organizational strain.
Start with the layer you need now and add administration, development or coaching as your organization grows.
Give your people the same quality of experience as employees of a large multinational, at a scale appropriate to your business.
Cultural orientation
We prepare expatriates arriving in Egypt and Egyptian executives taking assignments abroad — covering norms, relationship dynamics, workplace etiquette and the practical do's and don'ts — so they start the role with less stress and reach full productivity sooner.
Country briefing, business culture, communication style, hospitality and daily life — for the executive and the accompanying family.
Preparation for regional, Gulf, European and US assignments: directness, autonomy, meeting conventions and performance culture.
How trust is built, how hierarchy works, how feedback is given and how disagreement is expressed in the destination culture.
Meetings, negotiation, dress, gifts, invitations and written communication — the details that quietly decide credibility.
Support through the transition period, including culture shock, family adjustment and the everyday questions nobody briefs you on.
A check-in once the assignment is underway, when the real questions surface and course corrections are still cheap.
How we work
Get the administration right, and leadership is free to focus on culture, capability and change. Clients often begin with one layer and add others as trust and needs grow.
01
We take on the legal, financial and compliance weight of employment so you do not have to build that infrastructure yourself.
02
We design blended learning tracks around your organization's needs, tailored from frontline staff to senior leadership.
03
When training alone will not shift a repeating pattern, we work with the relationships, loyalties and dynamics underneath it.
Who we help
From multinationals setting up an Egyptian entity to established local groups and startups professionalizing their people function.
