Saudi Arabia Confers 5th Annual Labour Award


Ahmed Al-Rajhi, Saudi Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, presented the fifth annual Labour Award during a ceremony held as part of the third Global Labour Market Conference. The event was attended by senior government officials and private sector leaders.

The Minister emphasised that the Labour Award reflects the Kingdom's leadership vision to strengthen the labour sector, enhance its competitiveness, empower national talent and improve workplace quality. "Excellence in the labour market is no longer a regulatory option. It has become a strategic imperative embraced by organisations that recognise their developmental role," the Minister stated.

The fifth edition witnessed unprecedented participation, with more than 216,000 establishments competing for 37 awards across five key tracks - Localisation, Work Environment, Occupational Safety and Health, Skills and Training; and CEO. These tracks mirror the priorities of Saudi Arabia's labour market and align with the economic transformations outlined in Vision 2030.

In closing, the Minister commended the award-winning establishments for their commitment to job quality, skills development and workplace excellence. "These organisations represent the competitive, talent-attracting labour market we aspire to build," he said. His Excellency extended his gratitude to all participating entities and organising teams, congratulated the winners and expressed his best wishes for their continued contributions toward achieving Vision 2030 objectives.
