The midday work ban across private sector organizations in KSA will be effective from June 15 to September 15, 2024, to protect workers from the serious health risks of working under direct sunlight.
As part of the Midday Work Ban, outdoor workers (except for exempted jobs) will be required to refrain from performing any tasks from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm.
The Ministry of Labour, Oman, banned work during 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm from June to August 2024. How can employers protect their outdoor workers as extreme heat conditions increase across the Middle East region?
The expariates in Middle East need better support from their employers when it comes to well-being, managing stress, social life and personal development.
The talent trends in Middle East workplaces show that workers are increasingly demanding flexible work arrangements, well-being initiatives, and better career growth opportunities, but employers fail to meet their expectations.
With climate change leading to excessive heat and toxic air, workers face serious health risks, including cancer, respiratory illnesses, heart attacks, and mental health issues.
