UAE Urges Private Sector Firms to Meet 2026 Emiratisation Quotas by December 31
The UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has called on private firms with 50 or more workers to complete their 2026 recruitment quotas before December 31. Covered companies must achieve a 1% increase in Emiratisation across skilled roles in the second half of 2026 to reach a 2% annual target. Employers must recruit via the Nafis platform and comply with anti-fake Emiratisation rules.
