Joint Committees in Qatar: From Legal Requirements to Effective Workplace Dialogue

New Labour Law on Joint Committees. Are you ready?

Since the entry into force of Law No. (9) of 2026, all private sector establishments employing 100 or more workers in Qatar are required to establish a Joint Committee. This is no longer a recommendation: it is a legal obligation.

CCI France Qatar, in partnership with the Ministry of Labour, the ILO and the French Embassy in Qatar, is organising a high-level conference dedicated to this reform.

On the agenda: a presentation of the legal framework by the Ministry of Labour, practical experience from Nexans Qatar, Cegelec, Qatar Foundation and Mowasalat, companies that have been operating Joint Committees for several years, and a panel discussion moderated by the ILO. Arabic-English interpretation will be provided.

An implementation workshop will be held in the days following the conference to provide companies with concrete support as they move to action.

This conference is aimed at General Managers and Human Resources professionals of companies subject to this obligation, or soon to be. Anticipation is the best guarantee of compliance.
