Hello everyone,

In diverse sectors, employment in Bahrain has been tremendously affected by the current crisis.
We invite you to share your experience on these changes in the professional world in Bahrain.

Did new work practices emerge over the last few months?

Is working from home becoming the new normal or is it still marginal?

What about recruitment in companies located in Bahrain?

Were there new laws passed regarding work? If so, what were the consequences on the labour market?

Finally, what is your personal experience on that matter and on your own job specifically?

Thank you for your contribution!

Hi Cheryl,

yes you are correct, employment is severly impacted due to its current downturn, I am one of the hundreds or thousands of expat worker who lost their job up, until today im struggling to find decent leads to possibly land an initial interview process. I have tried multiple avenues to source or generate job leads but it seems that most of the companies are pretty exhausted as well as they are trying to recover from revenue loses. we dont know for sure how long this will take but I am very positive that this pandemic is somehow closer to end anytime soon. Just sharing...thank you
