UAE’s Emirati Work Bundle simplifies private-sector employment journey

Abu Dhabi has launched the Emirati Work Bundle in the Private Sector, a digital platform designed to streamline the employment journey for Emirati citizens and private-sector employers in the United Arab Emirates. This integrated system consolidates the various stages of the employment process, from registration to job placement and beyond, into a single, user-friendly digital experience.

The process begins with an Emirati citizen registering on Nafis, the official online portal for jobseekers. Here, the individual can search for job opportunities that match their qualifications and preferences. Once a suitable position is found, the applicant can schedule an appointment to complete the necessary employment procedures.

Following the appointment, the Emirati worker is officially linked to their new place of employment. Throughout this journey, the Emirati Work Bundle ensures a smooth and efficient experience by linking all relevant procedures and documents in a connected digital format. This eliminates the need for cumbersome paper-based processes and allows for faster, more reliable employment outcomes for both the citizen and the employer.

Currently, the UAE's private sector employs over 190,000 Emiratis, demonstrating the nation's commitment to the Emiratisation policy, which aims to increase the participation of Emirati citizens in the workforce. To further bolster this goal, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has urged private sector firms to meet their Emiratisation targets before the June 30 deadline.

The Emirati Work Bundle represents a significant step forward in simplifying the employment process for Emirati citizens and private-sector employers alike, ultimately contributing to the UAE's ongoing efforts to strengthen its domestic workforce and bolster its economy.
