His Excellency the Minister of Labour and Social Development, Mr. Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan, visited the Global Exchange Company’s Bahrain International Airport branch and met with a number of its Bahraini employees. The company, in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Development, recently employed 20 Bahrainis who had been qualified to fill several vacancies, particularly at the airport branch. In a statement on this occasion, Humaidan commended the company’s commitment to employing national workers, describing the recruitment of nationals at the airport as a distinguished initiative that showcases the Bahraini employee’s competence and professionalism, and reflects his contribution to serving the nation across all workplaces. He praised the national workforce in the banking sector, which is witnessing steady growth, noting their discipline and dedication, and expressing pride in seeing Bahraini cadres at Bahrain International Airport—the Kingdom’s civilised gateway. Humaidan affirmed that the Ministry will continue its efforts to accelerate jobseekers' employment across productive sectors—especially those considered attractive and promising—while offering incentives such as training and wage subsidies for national workers to ensure they remain the preferred choice for employment. For their part, the employees commended the Ministry’s efforts to integrate citizens into the private sector and acknowledged the Government’s appreciation of the national workforce. To strengthen cooperation, Global Exchange Company plans to increase the number of positions to 52 in the coming period, prioritising Bahrainis by recruiting Ministry‑referred, trained national cadres for administrative and technical roles.
