Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) issued 11,790 remote work contracts in the year to April, Al Eqtisadiah newspaper reported.
The remote work, or telework, is one of the ministry's national initiatives aimed at narrowing the gap between employers and job seekers, in addition to adopting the remote work as one of the employment types in the private sector institutions.
The ministry’s remote or telework program helps attract qualified candidates to work remotely without in-person presence.
