Government Mandate
Emiratisation Is Not Optional. It's Strategic.
Emiratisation is more than a policy. It's a national mission. The UAE government is driving private sector
transformation by embedding local talent into the heart of business. As we enter the next phase of Vision
2031, companies can no longer afford to treat Emiratisation as a year-end task. It must be woven into
your workforce planning year-round.
The Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MoHRE) has laid down clear mandates:
50+ Employee Companies
Must increase UAE Nationals in skilled roles by 2% each year, reaching 10% by 2026
SME Requirements (20-49 employees)
Must hire at least 1 Emirati by end-2024 and another by end-2025 in 14 critical sectors
Financial Penalties
AED 108,000+ per unfilled position, escalating to AED 120,000 in 2026
Fake Emiratisation Crackdown
MoHRE taking strict action against businesses falsely listing Emiratis without legitimate roles
Critical Compliance Warning
MBut penalties aren't the only concern. MoHRE is now taking strict action against "fake Emiratisation," where businesses falsely list Emiratis on payrolls without legitimate roles. The message is clear: short-cuts won't work.
If your organisation doesn't have the internal bandwidth or legal clarity to handle these updates, you need a reliable partner who understands compliance and talent equally well.
