Emiratis can be 'assets' to private sector
By January 1, 2023, companies with more than 50 employees must ensure 2 per cent of their staff is Emirati under a wider government drive to have UAE citizens make up 10 per cent of the private sector workforce by 2026.
Companies registered in free zones are exempt from Emiratisation targets but are encouraged to hire UAE citizens.
High-achieving citizens said the initiative provides an opportunity for Emiratis to move up the career ladder and demonstrate they are not being hired to simply meet a quota
“Emiratis do not want to be a quota or to swipe in and out. I believe that people deep down want to be an asset to their company, to contribute in order to feel fulfilled in a job,” she said.
“Private companies enable Emirati employees to grow at a fast pace, be challenged and to be in a diverse and dynamic environment.
