Domains and localization are handled by clients: Basics and importance in the Saudi labor market
The process of acquiring domain names and localization on behalf of clients is a fundamental pillar that effectively contributes to ensuring full compliance with the local laws and regulations in force in the Saudi labor market. These processes fall within the context of the Kingdom’s ambitious Vision 2030, which aims to promote the employment of national workers and reduce reliance on expatriate labor, supporting long-term economic and social sustainability.
What is bandwidth tolerance?
The Nitaqat system is a regulatory measure that requires companies and institutions to ensure that their workforce ratios comply with standards set by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The term “Nitaqat” refers to the classification of economic activities based on the ratio of national (Saudi) workers to expatriate workers.
Based on these ratios, companies are classified into three main categories:
- Red zone: Companies with localization rates below the minimum required.
- Yellow band: Companies that partially comply with localization ratios.
- Green range: Companies that achieve or exceed the specified localization rates.
These ranges are determined based on the number of Saudi citizens working in the facility compared to the number of expatriate workers, reflecting the extent of commitment to national localization initiatives.
The importance of the domain names lies in enhancing the effectiveness of Saudi labor utilization within the local market. This process contributes to raising the level of localization and improving the competitiveness of local companies, in addition to supporting economic stability and sustainable development in accordance with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
What is localization?
Localization is a strategic process aimed at employing Saudi citizens in various economic sectors within the Kingdom. It is a fundamental pillar for achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. Localization encompasses all job levels, from leadership and specialized positions, to technical and labor jobs, and even professional positions.
Localization aims to increase the participation of Saudis in the national labor market and reduce reliance on expatriate labor, creating a sustainable balance between market needs and job opportunities available to citizens.
By supporting localization, work is being done to:
- Developing the skills and competencies of the national workforce.
- Providing sustainable job opportunities for citizens.
- Reducing unemployment rates among Saudis.
- Promoting justice and equality in the workplace.
Localization is a key driver of local economic growth, enhancing social stability and contributing to building a strong, diversified economy based on national competencies.
