Private sector companies in the UAE will be monitored starting today to ensure adherence to the government’s Emiratisation campaign.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) announced that the two issued decrees that promote Emiratisation in the private sector will be applied starting this year.

“In support of Emiratisation measures, MOHRE to start two newly assigned decrees [on January 2],” the ministry said on its official Twitter account.

Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, Saqr Ghobash, has issued the decrees regarding the hiring of data entry staff in private businesses and occupational health and safety officer in companies “specialized in construction and industrial works”.

The first legislation, Ministerial Decree No. 710 of 2016, seeks to employ UAE nationals for data entry positions. Companies with more than 1,000 workers have been urged to register and ensure that at least two data entry positions are filled by Emirati residents.
