Tamkeen supports wage increase for more than 350 Bahraini employees at Fakhro Restaurants – McDonald’s Bahrain

The Labour Fund Tamkeen announced its support, through its Wage Increment Program, for Fakhro Restaurants Company, the owner and operator of McDonald’s restaurants in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The program is part of Tamkeen’s Career Development Support initiative, unveiled last November, to drive the career growth of Bahraini professionals.

Tamkeen’s commitment includes a comprehensive support package covering 100% of wage increases for Bahraini employees over a two-year period. Over 350 Bahraini employees will receive 20% wage increase as part of this support package. The move aligns with Tamkeen’s strategic objective to foster the career development of the workforce. The agreement builds on a previous successful partnership between Tamkeen and Fakhro Restaurants, which saw the National Employment Program facilitating the recruitment of a substantial number of Bahrainis.

Tamkeen Chief Executive, Her Excellency Ms. Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez emphasized the organization’s dedication to nurturing Bahraini talent and strengthening the economy through career development initiatives. She said, “We are proud of the achievements resulting from our partnership with Fakhro Restaurants Company, having supported more than 400 Bahraini employees since 2016. Witnessing their continuing success and professional development reinforces our commitment to building a promising future for all.”
