A Changing Landscape Looking at employers’ survey results revealed an ongoing change in the business landscape within the GCC region. The demand for talent has increased, with businesses saying they are looking to grow in the next couple of years. The results also revealed that organisations in the GCC have mostly given salary increases to their employees, with a significant portion saying that they will also be offering the same in 2024. One of the main focuses of companies is recruiting nationals from UAE and Saudi Arabia, given the increased efforts of their respective local governments to employ more citizens in the private sector. Revenue growth is still the top priority for businesses in the GCC, with many companies saying that they have increased headcount compared to last year and are planning to increase by next year.
