The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), in collaboration with local and federal government partners, has launched the ‘Emirati Work Bundle in Private Sector’, a new initiative designed to deliver integrated, proactive digital employment services for Emirati citizens working in the private sector, as well as for employers
The work bundle provides a comprehensive, end-to-end service journey, covering everything from registration on the Nafis platform and job placement through to enrolment in pension and social security systems. The initiative supports the UAE’s broader Emiratisation strategy, while advancing digital transformation and reinforcing leadership in government service delivery, in line with the objectives of the Zero Government Bureaucracy Programme.
Built on high levels of intergovernmental integration, the Emirati Work Bundle leverages real-time data sharing between MoHRE and a wide range of federal and local entities. These include the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP); General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA); Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council; Abu Dhabi Pension Fund; Department of Health – Abu Dhabi; Emirates Health Services; Dubai Health; and the Digital Dubai Authority. The integration aims to reduce duplication, improve compliance, and accelerate service delivery across employment, health, and social protection systems.
His Excellency Khalil Khoori, Undersecretary of Labour Market and Emiratisation Operations at MoHRE, said, “The new launch enhances the customer journey by streamlining procedures and reducing employment requirements for UAE citizens and employers. It covers the full process from the moment an Emirati citizen registers on the Nafis platform and begins their job search, until their appointment in a private-sector job, along with their registration in the UAE’s pension and social security systems.”
From a governance and security perspective, His Excellency Major General Saeed Salem Balhas Al Shamsi, Acting Director General of Identity and Foreigners Affairs at ICP, highlighted the role of data integration in service resilience, stating, “The new work bundle for citizens strengthens the UAE’s model for secure digital solutions, ensuring service efficiency and advancing Zero Government Bureaucracy by integrating data among all partners, which contributes to providing an excellent and swift service for both the Emirati citizen and the employer.”
Similarly, His Excellency Khalaf Abdullah Rahma Al Hammadi, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Pension Fund, emphasised the importance of early and accurate registration to strengthen social protection mechanisms. “Launching the new Emirati Work Bundle highlights the advanced model of integrated government operations implemented at both the local and federal levels. It embodies the UAE’s vision in aligning efforts and enhancing data integration among relevant entities, which allows for providing an outstanding experience for customers. This integration underscores the importance of early and accurate registration in pension systems, which strengthens the social protection system and guarantees pension rights for Emirati citizens.”
For private-sector organisations, including those operating in high-compliance and safety-critical industries, the initiative represents a significant step towards simplified onboarding, improved regulatory alignment, and more efficient workforce management.
