Since the launch of Vision 2030, transforming the Saudi Arabian workforce and creating employment opportunities for nationals (a policy known as Saudisation) has been a key driving force in government policy.
In August 2011, the framework for Saudisation was radically overhauled with the launch of the Nitaqat program which introduced robust quotas linked to the employer’s commercial activity and size.
