Human Resources Vice Minister Abdullah Abuthnain Recognises Key Contributors To Domestic Labor Insurance Success

Human Resources Vice Minister for Social Development and Labor Abdullah Abuthnain recently acknowledged the contributions of various entities in launching and operating the insurance service for domestic labor contracts. This includes cooperative insurance companies. The event saw attendance from notable figures such as Saudi Human Rights Commission President Hala Al-Tuwaijri, Insurance Authority chairman Abdulaziz bin Hassan Al-Boug, ambassadors, consulate representatives, and other dignitaries.

Abuthnain commended the fruitful collaboration with partners and relevant entities. He highlighted their crucial role in the successful initiation of the service. He stressed that these strategic partnerships are vital for future achievements. The service is designed to meet the needs of contractual parties while safeguarding their rights equitably.

The initiative has significantly enhanced Saudi Arabia's appeal as a destination for skilled domestic labor worldwide. Since its inception, over 500,000 labor contracts have been insured under this service. This achievement underscores its effectiveness in attracting domestic workers to the Kingdom.

Abuthnain noted a more than 60% reduction in direct recruitment costs and a decrease in recruitment time from 95 days to 54 days. This applies to domestic labor sourced from over 30 countries. Additionally, there has been a more than 30% decline in labor leasing service costs.

The National Platform for Domestic Recruitment (Musaned) has achieved remarkable success. It ranked first in customer satisfaction across Saudi Arabia according to the Digital Government Authority's index. Musaned also gained international recognition from organizations like the UN International Labor Organization (ILO).

Abuthnain emphasized that maintaining these partnerships will lead to further successes in the future. The insurance service aims to balance the needs of all parties involved while protecting their rights effectively.

This initiative not only supports contractual parties but also strengthens Saudi Arabia's position as a preferred destination for skilled domestic workers globally.
