Dubai’s billionaire Khalaf Al Habtoor, founder and chairman of Al Habtoor Group, on Thursday said he had instructed to employ UAE nationals across all the units of the well-diversified conglomerate as the government strongly pushes Emiratisation in the private sector.
He further revealed that a decision has been taken to employ UAE nationals as and when there is a vacant position due to the resignation of existing employees.
The group employs thousands of workers with interests in hospitality, automotive, vehicle leasing, real estate, education and publishing.
As of July 7, 2023, the number of Emiratis employed in the private sector reached around 79,000, an increase of approximately 28,770 as compared to last year. The Emiratistion drive dramatically picked up since the Nafis initiative was launched by the government in September 2021.
Nafis was aimed at increasing the competitiveness of Emirati human resources and empowering them to occupy jobs in the private sector over the next five years.
Earlier this week, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) expanded the Emiratisation target to include private sector companies with 20 to 49 employees to hire at least one Emirati in 2024.
