GPSSA launches set of proactive services for employers
The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) has launched a new set of proactive services for employers. The services include automatic registration of employers, insured individuals, and GCC nationals covered under the pension extension system, in addition to disbursement of insurance benefits (end-of-service) and insured individuals' data update services. The launch follows successful electronic integration between GPSSA, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), and the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR). The core mechanism of this initiative involves GPSSA receiving data on work permits, employee registration, or end-of-service cases directly from MoHRE or FAHR. An automated notification is then sent to employers to review and validate the information and complete any missing data-without the need to manually submit service requests, thereby eliminating extra steps and bureaucracy. These proactive services benefit federal government entities operating under FAHR's "Bayanati' system, as well as private sector companies registered with MoHRE. The expected outcome includes a more streamlined experience for employers through simplified procedures, improved data quality, and enhanced digital service delivery aligned with top standards of efficiency and responsiveness. Feras Abdul Karim Al Ramahi, Director-General of GPSSA, said, "This kind of institutional partnership enhances the delivery of integrated government services and aligns strategic plans across federal entities with the country's ongoing vision of improving service quality and supporting national programmes and policies, particularly those tied to the UAE Centennial 2071, which outlines a clear roadmap to making the UAE the best country in the world.' He highlighted the success of the GPSSA's digital platform "Ma'ashi,' which has enabled end-to-end management of operations and stakeholder engagement through effective data integration with 23 federal and local government entities. Khalil Al Khoori, Undersecretary for Emiratisation and Labour Market Operations at MoHRE, stated, "Facilitating service delivery is a core pillar for enhancing the UAE's business environment and the appeal of our labour market. These proactive services, developed with GPSSA, will significantly reduce administrative burdens, improve data accuracy, and encourage employers to expedite the registration of Emirati employees with GPSSA, ultimately safeguarding their legal rights.' Faisal bin Butti Al Muhairi, Director-General of the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources, has acclaimed the level of digital integration across stakeholders, adding that "continuous coordination ensures accurate and up-to-date data, simplifies the customer journey, and supports the national agenda in building an integrated digital government.' The proactive services represent a non-traditional model of public service delivery adopted by the UAE government. They rely on real-time, secure data exchange between interconnected systems, providing seamless, proactive services without direct customer intervention. This innovative model reflects a major transformation in how government services are conceived and delivered, simplifying lives and reinforcing the UAE's global leadership in reimagining public service delivery.

UAE Launches Digital System to Verify Academic Qualifications for Employment
The UAE has unveiled a new digital system to verify academic qualifications, aiming to streamline employment procedures and enhance labour market integrity. Launched by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) in partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR), the initiative marks a significant step in the country's push toward a fully integrated digital employment ecosystem. The Academic Qualification Verification Project allows private sector employers to verify academic credentials — whether issued locally or abroad — through MoHRE's digital platforms and service centres. The system supports skill levels 1 to 4 under the National Qualifications Framework and will eventually include UAE-issued degrees at a later stage. Officials say the project supports the UAE's broader digital transformation goals, reducing bureaucracy and improving service delivery across sectors. It also ensures the authenticity of qualifications, curbing fraudulent practices and enabling faster, more reliable hiring processes. Khalil Al Khoori, Undersecretary for Labour Market and Emiratisation Operations at MoHRE, said the system reinforces the UAE's efforts to attract global talent and boost its competitive edge in the employment sector. He noted that embedding the verification process within work permit procedures strengthens regulatory oversight and service efficiency. Dr. Mohammad Al Mualla, Undersecretary of MoHESR, emphasized that the initiative aligns academic output with labour market needs, supporting the national strategy to build a knowledge-based economy. He added that the service contributes to the Zero Government Bureaucracy programme by delivering fast, customer-centric solutions. By digitising verification, the project reduces paperwork, enables unified processing with a one-time fee, and promotes stronger collaboration between government and private sector entities — all while enhancing the UAE's appeal as a global investment and employment hub.

UAE launches digital integration project to verify private sector workers' academic qualifications
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), in partnership with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR), has launched a digital integration project to enable the verification of academic qualifications, marking a pioneering step forward towards an integrated digital employment environment. The project aligns with the UAE's vision to drive digital transformation, streamline government processes, and enable private sector employers to verify workers' academic qualifications electronically, whether they were issued in the UAE or abroad. The initiative facilitates the delivery of fast, reliable government services that meet evolving labour market needs, uphold professional standards among workers, and enhance the UAE's role in supporting the labour environment, which, in effect, boosts its appeal as a leading destination for investment. The project strives to offer highly credible and efficient employment services, supported by the seamless integration of roles between all stakeholders involved, where MoHRE works to embed the new verification process into work permit issuance procedures, while MoHESR functions as the academic verification authority. Khalil Al Khoori, Undersecretary of Labour Market and Emiratisation Operations at MoHRE, said, 'The Academic Qualification Verification Project forms part of our ongoing efforts at the Ministry to enhance labour market efficiency and develop digital services for our customers, reinforcing the UAE's pioneering vision to attract talent and maintain competitiveness and integrity in the employment ecosystem.' 'The innovative new project relies on integration to drive service development and meet labour market requirements in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive environment that necessitates a specific set of skills to navigate the new economic era,' Al Khoori added, noting that the project supports the Ministry's pioneering regulatory system in its efforts to curb harmful practices. For his part, Dr. Mohammad Al Mualla, Undersecretary of the MoHESR, explained that the new project will improve the speed, accuracy, and reliability of the academic qualification verification process, which, in turn, allows economic sectors to attract talent that meets their specific needs and strengthens their competitiveness. 'This initiative marks a ground-breaking new step towards aligning the academic journey with labour market requirements, which is a strategic priority for the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research,' Al Mualla added. 'Launching this innovative service falls in line with our efforts to achieve the goals of the Zero Government Bureaucracy programme and to deliver high-quality services that meet customers' expectations and ensure their satisfaction,' he noted. 'We will keep working with our partners at federal and local entities, and across all economic sectors, to introduce more innovative initiatives that expand the higher education sector's contribution to national objectives and visions.' The service is applicable to private sector employers and qualified workers with academic degrees from outside the UAE at skill levels 1 to 4 according to the National Qualifications Framework. Users can access the service through MoHRE's digital platforms (website and smart application) and business service centres across the country based on the approved terms listed on the Ministry's website. In a later stage, the service will also be extended to academic degree holders at skill levels 1 to 4 issued in the UAE. The Academic Qualification Verification Project offers a range of benefits to government entities and the private sector, ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of academic qualifications used in the employment process through direct digital verification. This allows for more reliable hiring practices, reduces the required paperwork, streamlines the service to a unified verification process and a one-time fee, and enhances public-private collaboration, which ultimately strengthens labour market flexibility and boosts operational efficiency.
