SHORTAGE OF STAFF FROM INDIA
Posted by MOHAMMED AMINUL ALAM at 09:00 UAE time
The article on shortage of staff from India is quite an eye opener for all the prospective employers in the Gulf. I am just back from vacation and have witnessed the positive frame of mind of all the young employees across the sector in terms of their enterprising attitude. The IT and BPO industry has given a fillip to growth in terms of employment. Looking at this I would not be surprised to find a reverse flow of middle level employees from the Gulf back to India. If Gulf based companies want to retain, they need to respect Indian manpower and pay them as per market rate without racial i.e. passport discrimination.

SHORTAGE OF STAFF FROM INDIA
Posted by Buddhadeb Mookerjee at 16:00 UAE time
For quite a few years when Indian economy was languishing at early stages of development, it has been a source of trained manpower for the GCC countries. This has benefited both parties immensely. While the Indian economy gained through remittances of hard currency by the large Indian work force in the region, the GCC region had access to the trained and cost effective manpower from India. This was a win win situation. Of late not only has Indian economy started to grow at a phenomenal rate thus creating large number of excellent job opportunities within the country, the world community has started to recognise the quality of Indian professionals and are prepared to pay them handsomely. The GCC countries should realise that well trained Indian workers and professionals are still available but at a higher price. Even then they remain good value for money.

Very poor wages - no minimum salaries
Posted by mikel cruz at 08:00 UAE time
The UAE is rich "by nature", but whether you like it or not expat workers are part of growth of the country. The government should do something with a minimum wage, as far as I understand it, the UAE has a very poor labour law and record. The authorities should do something to help the workforce of any and all kinds, and help at least meet the rapidly increasing basic needs for each one of us.

Staff shortages
Posted by Rodger Clarke at 15:00 UAE time
The rapidly increasing cost of living is another factor, combined with the above, that is pushing up salary demands. Employers need to come to terms with this new reality quickly and factor it into their budgeting and job costing models. They may also need to look at alternative sources of labour - for decades it has been cheap and easy to source skilled labour from the subcontinent but this is increasingly no longer the case.

Poorly written article
Posted by Anahita Mullen at 08:00 UAE time
One of the reasons I enjoy reading your publications is that your editorial is succinct and well presented - unfortunately not this article. It is full of grammatical and spelling errors - very shabby indeed
