Green on Paper, Red in Practice: What Your Nitaqat Band Isn't Telling You

Overview & Audience

A strong Nitaqat classification doesn't always tell the full story. Many organisations assume that sitting comfortably in High Green or Platinum means they are fully compliant with Saudi Arabia's Saudisation requirements.

In reality, businesses can still face profession-level breaches, penalties and operational restrictions despite appearing compliant at first glance.

Join experts from Clyde & Co and EER Middle East as we explore the hidden compliance risks behind Nitaqat classifications and the practical steps employers should take to protect their business.

During this webinar, we'll discuss:

• How Nitaqat works and what has changed in 2026
• Why an overall High Green or Platinum rating may not tell the whole story
• Profession-specific Saudisation requirements and common compliance pitfalls
• How to review your position across Qiwa, GOSI and Mudad
• Recent enforcement trends and the potential consequences of non-compliance
• Practical recommendations to help your organisation remain compliant

The session will conclude with a live audience Q&A, giving you the opportunity to submit your questions directly to the panel.
