CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1.1 Introduction Globalization and expanding business opportunities are developing employee’ssignificance around the world. Professional and talented employees are a crucial need for everybusiness units. Companies are globally developing policies and regulations to retain labour inorder to attain quality output and satisfied employees (Blanchard, 2010). This has helped thecompanies in developing effective growth and development within globally while retainingworkforce to enhance the prospective growth in coming future. Workforce is considered as theasset of the company rather than mere resources. In this era of development and growth Qatar has developed adverse labour conditions forthe employees and labours residing in the country. Lack of fundamental rights and freedom is themajor cause of concern. Migrants and workers from different countries are living in unfavourableconditions, working long hours in non existence of laws and regulations (Kelly, 2009). Minimumaccess to embassies, country authorities has made the living conditions miserable within country.Unhygienic living conditions and non-existence of labour compliance system has led to largenumber of deaths in the country (Revealed: Qatar's World Cup 'slaves', 2013). Qatar will be hosting Fifa world-cup 2022 for which the country has demanded largelabour force. The event will enhance the growth and development of the country significantly inthe given time period. However, Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has the authority tochange the current labour conditions of the country significantly to develop the labour welfareconditions and policies as well (Williams, Bhanugopan and Fish, 2011). The study will analysethe impact and role of FIFA in developing the present conditions. Moreover, it will also evaluatethe current conditions of the labour in Qatar to examine the policies and regulation that has beenimplemented in the country to develop the national working system. It will focus on seekingpossible measures which can be implemented in the legal system of Qatar to improve theconditions of labours and migrants in the country.1.2 Background of the studyHuman resource is a significant part of the company or a country as whole. Organizationsdevelop various policies and regulations to enhance the quality of performance of the employeesin order to create and effective impact on the overall productivity of the company (Benvenisti1
and Downs, 2009). There are various regulations and legal restrictions for enhancing labourwelfare and efficient human resource management which helps the companies and regions indeveloping the overall growth of the country and region as well. FIFA world cup is one of the biggest football event in the world. Federation ofAssociation Football (FIFA) is responsible for organizing the event worldwide to entertain largenumber of spectators and develop a definite source of revenue for the country. FIFA wasestablished in 1904 to regulate and conduct competition between various national associations.FIFA does not control the rules of football but are responsible for organizing and promoting theevent which helps in developing countries around the world (Revealed: Qatar's World Cup'slaves', 2013).The net revenue earned for the event is significantly high which helps thecountries in enhancing their growth and development. FIFA World Cup 2022 has been awarded to Qatar in 2010, which has been criticized bymedia and the world economy. The country conveyed the need of 50000 migrants to develop thecountry for the huge event awaited to be helped in the year 2022. The country proposed todevelop infrastructural facilities including new roads, airport, hotels and stadiums (Qatar 2022:World Cup project workers living in slum conditions behind glitz of oil-rich country. 2015).However, the country has been alleged for lacking the labour rights and policies which hasresulted in the deaths of more than 8000 workers within the country. Unhygienic livingconditions and adverse treatment due to lack of proper laws and policies. Qatar government takesminimum responsibility for the well being, health and safety and living condition of the workers.Qatar promised to introduce Kafala labour laws within the country which would havehelped the employees and labours in creating effective working system along with proper livingcondition. Presently Qatar is insignificant to the labour issues and has not acted upon thesituations to take any corrective actions (Revealed: Qatar's World Cup 'slaves'. 2013). Thecountry should now end the Khafala system and should introduce effective labour laws in orderto create an effective impact on the growth and development of the nations (Hertel, 2009). Themigrants must be recruited and treated as the resources of the system rather than slaves. Humanresource policies and regulations must be infused in the system in order to create an effectiveworking system for the labours of the country (Ryan and Mitsilegas, 2010). ITUS must developproper measures of health and safety for labours to create the definite measures for living andresiding within the country. 2
