However, the HR dept is not the MOI and if MOI does not approve your family status application, nothing their HR dept can do will change that.
I would certainly request from the HR dept that they provide a written statement that the family visa will be available - or something to that effect. I very much doubt they will do so.
You say your family being with you is very important. I agree with Mandi, this is a big risk to rely on someone's "word" rather than being able to meet the published requirements.
Also, the min salary requirement was increased in the past year. Who is to say the government won't increase it again in the 6 month period you are waiting?
