The UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has urged firms in the private sector employing 50 or more workers to meet their half-yearly (H1) Emiratization targets for 2024 by June 30. These targets aim to raise the number of skilled Emiratis working in the private sector by 1 percent, in line with the UAE’s cabinet resolution. Starting July 1, the ministry will monitor compliance rates in private sector firms.
In addition, MoHRE highlighted the importance of registering UAE citizens in one of the authorized pension funds and in the Wage Protection System (WPS). Moreover, it urged companies to maintain the growth they achieved in Emiratization targets until June 30.
For companies falling short of their target, MoHRE encourages the use of the “Nafis” platform to connect with Emirati nationals seeking employment.

“We urge companies to adhere to Emiratisation targets, which are a top priority for the UAE government, given the role they play in achieving economic growth objectives and the nation’s ambitions for the upcoming period, where the primary focus will be on empowering national human capital,” MoHRE said in a statement on Tuesday.
The ministry also emphasized the importance of reporting any violations to its call center or via its smart application, further emphasizing the importance of reaching this national goal.
