About this report

The GCC HR Trends & Practices Report 2025–2026, developed by Procapita Group in partnership with Zenithr HR Solutions and Thomas International, provides a comprehensive regional analysis of how organizations across the Gulf are responding to accelerating shifts in workforce dynamics. The report examines critical developments in talent mobility, HR financial metrics, employee experience, reward frameworks, Board of Directors’ remuneration, and the broader business environment shaping decision-making across the GCC.

Built on insights from over 3,000 organizations across all GCC countries, supported by longitudinal analysis spanning 2020 to 2025, the report reveals how workforce strategies are evolving across industries and markets. It highlights the implications of these changes for organizational resilience, governance effectiveness, and long-term competitiveness in an increasingly complex and data-driven landscape. The question is no longer whether organizations should adapt, but how quickly they can align their people strategies with the realities of the regional labor market. This report serves as a strategic blueprint for leaders navigating the future of work in the GCC.
