TNT Express, the world’s leading B2B express delivery company, is investing in the country’s national workforce by working closely with Dubai’s Higher Colleges of Technology and providing work experience, internships and training for locals.

“Having seen giant strides in the work culture during the last five years, we believe that through Emirates National Development Programme (ENDP) and Tanmia, the UAE is moving towards an effective strategy for the development of its national workforce,” said Bryan Moulds, Country General Manager, TNT UAE.

The company has followed the UAE’s initiative and has designated some of its jobs as national only positions. These jobs include receptionists, accounts assistants, customs clearance agents and human resources personnel.

“We also offer part time positions for those who have family or study obligations,” added Moulds.

TNT’s work environment in the Gulf is made up of 17 nationalities working in 18 locations across the region.

The company’s key Dubai locations are in Rashidiya, Dubai Cargo Village, Business Avenue Building and Jebel Ali Free Zone. Across the UAE, TNT also has offices in Sharjah, Fujairah, Ras Al-Khaimah, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi.

“We have regular team meetings to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. We also conduct regular training and development programmes for specific departments or individuals who require it,” explained Moulds.

“TNT also encourages promotions within the company and advertise all our vacancies internally first and produce a quarterly staff newsletter which informs staff on growth of the business.”

TNT’s remuneration package for nationals include basic salary, car allowance, pay in lieu of an annual air ticket, private medical insurance, national pension scheme and company sponsored job relevant training.
