Owing to the lack of interface among the local systems in the Ministry of Manpower (MOMP), inefficient offline workloads increased because of the need to validate employment data. This validation process involved visual and manual input by government officials that led to errors including missing or inaccurate information. Every month, a total of 24 126 foreign worker permits were processed for visas, 9 000 Omani candidates were recommended for 6 500 job vacancies and 246 on the job training vacancies, 1 720 workers’ contracts of employment were terminated in the private sector, 4 777 workers resigned from their jobs, 23 931 foreign workers left the country, 1 970 workers left their employers illegally, and there were 1 780 cases of workforce violations. Staff had to calculate and review the Omanization plan for 2 290 private sector posts manually before approving foreign work permits.
