Follow the Emiratisation rate and set the entity's target

Steps

1. 1

   Read the Emiratization card on Overview

   Open Workforce. On the Overview tab, the Emiratization card shows the status, the current ratio, the target and the count: two of the eleven active employees are UAE nationals, a little over eighteen per cent. The same rate is the large figure at the top of the page.

2. 2

   See what counts, on the Employees tab

   Select the Employees tab. The Emirati column shows Yes for the employees whose record has the UAE National box ticked. Those are the people who count; what is typed in Nationality does not. To change it, open the record and use Edit Employee.

   • Select Employees
3. 3

   Select Rebuild from hire and exit dates

   Go back to Overview and scroll to Emiratisation trend. The chart fills by itself with one point on the first of each month. To see the past as well, select Rebuild from hire and exit dates: the app works out each earlier month end from the employees' start and leaving dates.

   • Select Overview
   • Select Rebuild from hire & exit dates
4. 4

   Select Show monthly figures

   The solid line is the Emirati ratio and the dashed line the target. A note under the chart says the earlier months were reconstructed. Select Show monthly figures for the table behind the chart: headcount, Emiratis, ratio, target and where each figure came from. Not subject means the entity had fewer employees than the headcount at which the target applies.

   • Select Show monthly figures
5. 5

   Open the Settings tab

   Select the Settings tab. The first card is Emiratisation target. The grey box states the legal rule with its source, and what is in force for this entity. The badge beside the title reads Statutory default: the entity follows the law, which applies the target from fifty employees.

   • Select Settings

   

6. 6

   Enter the entity's own target

   Suppose the group has decided that its retail companies aim higher than the law. In Target type 25, for twenty-five per cent. In Applies from type 10, so that the target counts from ten employees instead of fifty.

   • Type Target (%): 25
   • Type Applies from (employees): 10
7. 7

   Give the reason and select Save

   In Basis or note write why this entity differs, so that an auditor can follow it. Then select Save in this card. The message Workforce settings saved appears, the badge changes to Entity setting, and the grey box shows the new rule in force.

   • Type Basis / note: Group policy 2026: retail entities aim for 25 per cent Emirati staff f…
   • Select Save
8. 8

   See the effect on Overview

   Select Overview. The status is now Non-compliant against a target of twenty-five per cent, and the card says how many more Emirati hires are needed. The same message appears as a warning above the tabs, where the whole HR team sees it.

   • Select Overview
9. 9

   Go back to the legal rule

   To drop the entity's own target, return to Settings and select Use statutory default. The fields are emptied, the badge reads Statutory default again and the entity follows the law. The demo company carries on with the legal rule.

   • Select Settings
   • Select Use statutory default
