Employees in the UAE are placing a higher premium on clarity around salary, flexibility, technology, culture, and company values, an industry survey showed.

Talent in the UAE is no longer waiting for change, but they are actively pursuing it, said a survey by Michael Page, a global recruitment consultancy.

“Despite economic uncertainty, 77 per cent of professionals in the UAE are actively exploring new job opportunities, a sharp rise from 65 per cent in 2024,” the survey said.
