The Remote Work Program is the first officially recognized body dedicated to governing and supporting remote work. This initiative is a cornerstone of the Ministry's efforts to achieve the Kingdom's Vision 2030, aiming to stimulate the labor market, increase workplace agility, and localize jobs, all while ensuring the protection of the rights and privileges of both employees and employers.
The Program serves as the sole legal framework governing remote work within the Kingdom. It aims to provide comprehensive solutions for remote work, including the development of laws and regulations, and the coordination of efforts with government and private entities to ensure the necessary support for all parties involved.
"The Remote Work Program” is a true partnership between the government and private sectors, designed to enhance the credibility and reliability of the Saudi labor market. The program offers numerous benefits to companies seeking flexible solutions and to employees searching for remote work opportunities, including the ability to work from anywhere at any time. By granting employees access to the program and allowing them the freedom to choose their workspace and hours, productivity is enhanced and unprecedented flexibility is achieved. Additionally, the Program facilitates connections between employers and qualified candidates, regardless of their geographic location.
The program serves as a tool to promote localization by targeting national talent and providing job opportunities that meet market demands.
It is worth noting that the Program ensures the rights and benefits of all parties by relying on official service providers licensed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. Through this Program, the Ministry aims to provide a comprehensive work environment that supports the digital economy and keeps pace with global labor market transformations, while ensuring that every step aligns with Saudi laws and regulations.
