Future-proofing workforce with Al-driven analytics

By leveraging SAS Workforce Analytics, UAE firms can help the country position itself as a global leader in talent development, writes Mohamed Mysara, Public Sector Principal Business Solutions Manager

AS the UAE accelerates its digital transformation through national initiatives like UAE Vision 2031, UAE Centennial 2071, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution Strategy, workforce planning has become one of the country’s top priorities.

The increasing reliance on AI, automation, and digital technologies is reshaping labour market demands, requiring businesses and governments to rethink how they develop and retain talent.

Without a data-driven approach, talent shortages in high-demand sectors such as AI, cybersecurity, and renewable energy could hinder long-term economic growth.

At the same time, Emiratisation policies add complexity, as organisations must balance national workforce development with economic competitiveness.

The job market is evolving at an unprecedented pace, automation is redefining required skill sets, and high workforce mobility is making talent retention more challenging.

Workforce analytics enables governments and businesses to make data-driven decisions about talent development, economic policy, and labour market optimisation.

SAS Workforce Analytics harnesses AI-powered predictive modelling to help organisations anticipate skill shortages, align educational programmes with industry demands, and develop long-term workforce strategies.
