The Minister underscored that achieving full Bahrainisation within a company reflects the private sector’s commitment to the long-term growth of Bahrain and ensures that Bahrainis are given precedence in the job market. He urged businesses to adopt effective recruitment practices to attract more local talent, especially considering the government’s initiatives and programs designed to prioritize Bahraini nationals in the workplace.

The event highlighted the importance of collaboration between the government, private sector, and training institutions to build a skilled and competitive workforce. By focusing on Bahrainisation, companies can not only contribute to the country’s economic development but also support the career advancement of local talents. The commitment shown by Naseej in achieving full Bahrainisation sets a positive example for other businesses to follow suit and prioritize hiring Bahraini nationals. By investing in the development and growth of Bahraini workers, organizations can foster a more inclusive and prosperous work environment that benefits both employees and the overall economy.
