The expatriate working population is considered to be the backbone of various economies in the Middle East. There is a huge paucity of expertise and experience in the natives of these countries while foreign workforce specializes in it. This is why expat professionals are welcomed with open arms across the entire Middle Eastern region. But apart from this, it is also believed that expatriates work harder than the nationals and the chief reason attributed for the same is that they have the liberty to be much more sociable than the former.
There is a difference in the attitudes of expat and national workers in Bahrain though it does not imply that Bahrainis are underperformers and foreigners hardworking. Let’s take a quick look at their way of working:
-Bahrainis are usually ambitious and envision their careers to grow in line with the rapid development of their nation. They rely mainly on their being nationals to attain growth and not experience or diligence and this advantage is taken over by expatriates.
-Since natives have friends and relatives in their country, they get the liberty to socialize more than the migrants. On the other hand, foreign personnel spend lesser time on recreation and much more on work commitments.
-Manual labor is undertaken mostly by expats as natives of Bahrain shy away from such work. Though it is true that everyone wishes to hold the top most position, it is not practical. Like a department in the company needs both managers and executives, an organization requires a CEO as well as a security guard, a country too demands people to serve positions from that of an ambassador to a municipality worker at the same time. Expats need to participate in carrying out menial tasks too!
If all jobs are considered respectable, Bahrain can develop much faster than now!
