The ministry highlighted the amendments were the result of an extensive study comparing labor laws from various countries and examining global best practices. Over 1,300 participants provided feedback on the proposed changes through the Istitlaa survey platform, operated by the National Competitiveness Center. Additionally, private sector establishments, relevant government agencies, labor committees, and human resources specialists were consulted through workshops and meetings.
These amendments aim to support the labor market, production, and service sectors by providing a suitable legislative environment and supporting small and medium enterprises.
