In the UAE, a significant talent gap has emerged as companies struggle to secure skilled professionals for critical positions. This challenge has spurred innovative approaches from employers, including specialised visas tailored for freelancers, retirees, and remote workers to attract top talent globally. Additionally, the government's initiative with the Golden Visa program, focusing on 100,000 coders, aims to fortify the national workforce with essential skills.
Simultaneously, findings from Radius Insights underscore a dynamic job market where one out of every four employees is actively changing jobs, intensifying competition to both recruit and retain talent. This highlights an urgent need for organisations to reassess and enhance their strategies for acquiring and retaining skilled personnel.
