Challenges for Qatar

BlueBull
By BlueBull

Qatar is expecting an unprecendented influx of expat workforce in the coming years. Some estimates put the numbers in hundreds of thousands.
How are we as an employer geared towards managing the incoming workforce? Are we actively engaged in a dialogue for developing a meaningful strategy? Are we aware of the current challenges? If you are given an opportunity to prepare a detailed action plan for managing,let's say, 100,000 expat workers, how would you go about doing it? What are the initiatives that,in your opinion, could makes all our lives easier?

Shoeboxes are good for keeping puppies in them.

I think Brite is getting the crux of the matter. Unless th government and the key stakeholders are genuinely interested in the welfare of the incoming workers, no ground can be covered.

Straight forward.

Build a camp for them. Have shopping and sport facilities on campsite including a mess hall.

Pay them on time and bus them to and from airport for vacations.

The new comers will have better salaries,.. so the first thing to think about is to increase the old people salaries, employers,..

I think it's time to leave Qatar,... the house rental crisis is back and I cannot afford paying half of my salary for two bedrooms again,...!!!

create workers syndicates that bring forwards rights and demands of the workers. there will be an equilibrium between these syndicate and their employers.

The first priority should be decent housing with reasonable cost.
