Dubai: The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization in the UAE launched a digital platform to ensure safe labour accommodations. The new platform will connect landlords of labour accommodations with employers.
The platform will enable landlords to register their labour accommodation on the ministry’s website www.mohre.gov.ae. The platform also indicates the validity of the housing and its safety. Employers can then register the rented accommodation and add workers through the designated portal.
