THE CHALLENGE

Emiratisation Is No Longer Optional

Since Ministerial Resolution No. 279 in 2022, the UAE government has mandated progressive Emiratisation quotas for private sector companies. The requirements expand every year, and MOHRE now uses AI-powered monitoring systems to detect non-compliance in real time. For most businesses, the challenge is not willingness — it is execution. That is where Element comes in.

Element MEA runs Emiratisation as a specialist practice. Tier target achievement, NAFIS programme enrolment, Emirati talent sourcing, ongoing MOHRE compliance monitoring. 60+ UAE businesses have hit their Emiratisation targets with Element MEA support since the Tier system launched.

Emiratisation is no longer optional. MOHRE fines run AED 96,000 per missing Emirati per year. Targets are increasing annually. And finding qualified Emirati candidates at competitive packages is harder than most founders realise.

What Element MEA Emiratisation services include

2. NAFIS programme enrolment

Full NAFIS enrolment workflow — eligibility check, MOHRE submission, salary support claim management. Each successful NAFIS-supported hire saves AED 84,000-96,000/year in salary subsidies for 5 years.

3. Emirati talent sourcing

4. Onboarding & retention

Emirati candidate experience design — onboarding journey, mentor pairing, cultural integration. Specific to Emirati employee preferences and career expectations.

5. Compliance monitoring

Emiratisation pricing

FAQ

What is the minimum Emiratisation Tier requirement?

Depends on your sector and headcount. Most private-sector businesses with 50+ skilled employees must hit 2% Emiratisation in 2026, rising 1% annually. We map your specific obligation in the first call.

Can you guarantee meeting our Tier target?

We guarantee best-effort placement and process. Final Tier achievement depends on candidate acceptance, retention, and your business timing.

How is NAFIS different from MOHRE?

MOHRE sets the Tier targets and enforces compliance. NAFIS is the subsidy programme that supports salary cost for new Emirati hires. We handle both.
