What happened
Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) has entered into a strategic partnership with Control Risks to develop and initiate a comprehensive framework dedicated to workers' welfare and wellbeing. The initiative is designed to elevate the standard of living and working conditions for the thousands of employees operating within the zone.
The framework focuses on three primary pillars: welfare, wellbeing, and happiness. By utilizing the expertise of Control Risks, RAKEZ aims to identify potential gaps in current labor practices and implement systemic improvements that align with international best practices and UAE federal laws.
This move is seen as a critical step in enhancing the emirate's reputation as a socially responsible industrial hub. By prioritizing the human element of the industrial supply chain, RAKEZ intends to attract higher-quality global talent and foster a more productive, satisfied workforce.
The partnership will involve regular audits, the introduction of new wellbeing metrics, and the creation of feedback loops between management and workers. This proactive approach to labor welfare is expected to reduce operational risks and improve the overall business climate for investors in RAK.
