Under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad, and in conjunction with Bahrain’s National Day celebrations and the 26th anniversary of his accession to the throne and the accompanying national events, the Labour Ministry held its 40th annual ceremony to honour outstanding workers in private sector establishments.
The ceremony recognised distinguished national figures, human resources professionals, institutions and workers from productive and economic sectors.
The event was attended by Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam, Labour and Legal Affairs Minister Yousif Khalaf, Parliament and Shura Council members, Bahrain Chamber chairman Sameer Nass, representatives of trade unions and labour organisations as well as the honourees and representatives of participating companies.
Mr Khalaf conveyed His Majesty’s appreciation of national competencies who contribute to Bahrain’s comprehensive development, and extended best wishes to the honourees for continued success and contribution.
The minister said the government, led by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, continues to implement His Majesty’s vision to empower national talent, expand employment opportunities, support entrepreneurship and self-employment, enhance job stability, and improve performance quality. He noted that the directive to offer three job opportunities to every registered job-seeker before the end of the year reflects the leadership’s commitment to placing Bahraini citizens at the centre of government policies and programmes.
He added that the ceremony reflects the collective efforts of government, workers, and employers, which have strengthened the national economy through qualified Bahraini talent that has demonstrated excellence across production sectors, improved productivity indicators, and enhanced service quality. He expressed appreciation for Bahrain’s workforce for its commitment and dedication.
The minister also praised the role of labour unions and federations in protecting workers’ rights, promoting social dialogue and supporting productivity growth, while recognising employers’ responsibility in providing stable and motivating work environments.
The minister highlighted the contributions of former Labour Minister Jameel Humaidan to employment, workforce development and labour rights, noting that his long-standing service and commitment have positioned him among Bahrain’s distinguished national figures.
The minister presented certificates of appreciation and commemorative shields to distinguished companies, administrators, entrepreneurs and workers. The honourees represented a wide range of categories spanning multiple sectors of the national economy.
