GCC Allowances & Benefits Survey
Compensation in the Arabian Gulf countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE) comprises many components in addition to basic salary. Cash allowances, such as housing or transportation can easily add up to 50% of the entire cash compensation package. In addition, benefits such as allowances to assist with children’s education and annual “leave home” airfares are frequently offered across these markets.
With the economy in the Middle East growing at a faster rate than that of many other global markets, the region is again experiencing a resurgence in attractiveness to both businesses and employees. The strong outlook has inevitably caused a rise in the cost of living fueled by increases in rents and costs of education and healthcare. For employers this means there is an increased pressure to strike the right balance between managing escalating workforce costs and keeping their company’s allowances and benefits competitive enough to remain an employer of choice.
