To further develop the labour sector within the country, HE the Minister of Labour and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Arab Labour Organisation Dr Ali bin Smaikh al-Marri met with the Director-General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Gilbert Houngbo. This meeting was to shed some light on the most recent developments within the sector, as well as to talk about the different ways Qatar and the ILO can work together to develop and support labour initiatives.
The meeting was held in Geneva, alongside meetings of the Board of Directors of the ILO.
Both parties also shared insights on the many challenges across global economies, as well as obstacles that citizens are concerned with when it comes to work environments, labour cirses, and negative issues and occupational hazards across the global labour market.
The Ministry of Labour has been continuously spearheading initiatives to improve work conditions and the labour market itself, along with a variety of e-services recently launched that have facilitated processes for both employers and employees alike. Even on the ground level, the MoL has boosted occupational health at various work sites, which includes a new cooling jacket model that helps regulate workers’ temperatures to reduce work-related injuries.
