Includes the theme for this month on the "where" to go clear to the foreign labor to search for work in the Middle East. That is understandable to some extent, given that the region is experiencing an economic boom in the great and all the non-oil sectors, which has necessitated the importation of labor attractive specialized to meet the growing need for talent.

In the United Arab Emirates, for example, because the heavy reliance on expatriate workers mainly to the low number of people who, quite simply, is not capable of keeping pace with economic expansion of the country. As a result, companies are adopting strategies and practices similar to the practices of foreign workers in order to attract highly skilled.

Not long ago, the foreign workers to stay in the region as a progress, and we look forward eagerly to return, eventually, to their homeland after the end of their work. Today, expatriates often tend to change their work permanently in the region. They are, in other words, looking for stability and consistency to the employer.

According to a new study conducted by Mercer, has been shown that similar practices to the West in terms of wages and benefits for staff in the marked increase. These changes and pay the growing number of multinational companies based in the region. The survey indicated that the traditional orientation towards securing high wages and alternatives have started to become a financial incentives and benefits to the long-term.

In the end, as we note, the above-mentioned trend is largely driven by the orientation of available-for-the basic needs of the first. When the bridge needs, the need to search elsewhere.
