For hiring people of determination, UAE has a new manual

Aim is to ensure an inclusive work environment without any discrimination

The Ministry of Community Development has issued a manual for employing the people of determination, in keeping with the National Policy for Empowering People of Determination to provide vocational, rehabilitation and employment programmes for them.

The policy also will initiate supportive policies to recruit them in government and private institutions, in addition to creating a database of information about their needs.

The policy seeks to providing them welfare, employment growth and stability in accordance with the Cabinet’s Decision No. (43) of 2018 concerning the employment of people of determination under suitable arrangements and facilities to ensure their functional performance equally to their peers.

The manual establishes an inclusive welcoming working environment for all different categories and ensures that all equal opportunities are provided for all of them from the early recruitment stages to the employment procedures of the people of determination such as interviews, training programs, access to information, support devices, comprehensive designs, job evaluation and assessment, promotion and retirement that lead to inclusive employment.

Wafa Hamda Bin Sulaiman, director of welfare & rehabilitation department for People of Determination, said the manual explains many of the terms, procedures and systems that must be taken into account when employing the people of determination and this helps all federal, government and private sectors to implement the Cabinet’s Decision while employing the people of determination.
