28th Feb 2026 ReplyThis is a timely read! We are just entering our second month of operations in Dubai and the complexity of WPS and health insurance was more than we anticipated. Do you recommend a specific digital tool for automating the onboarding side, or is it better to handle it through a local consultant initially?

28th Feb 2026 ReplyI couldn't agree more. Having managed several expansions into the UAE, I’ve seen many firms treat HR as an "afterthought" only to face massive fines for non-compliant contracts or missing visa deadlines in month four. A strong foundation from day one truly is the best ROI for a new entity.
