At present, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, has forwarded its proposal to the cabinet urging it to consider penalizing the companies, in case of their failure to abide by the government’s initiatives on Qatarization.
According to the Minister, the penalizing action might include measures such as stoppage of the company’s rights to hire foreign workers. The Minister revealed that as the private sector is growth-oriented, and it provides ample scope of employment to citizens, apart from related job-benefits.
The Minister opinioned that the banking sector has been extremely co-operative with the state’s Qatarization drive, as it has been absorbing comparatively good number of nationals. However, a few private players seem un-cooperative, the Minister lamented.
The Department of Labour has even begun offering training to job-seeking nationals, so that they can work efficiently in a private sector.
