So sit back, whilst the scene is set….
TAGLINE: THE UAE SPONSORSHIP TRANSFER REGIME
Setting the scene: Alice in Wonderland (2010) (Director: Tim Burton)
A computer-animated fantasy film, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and inspired by Lewis Carroll's acclaimed novel “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” and its sequel, “Through the Looking-Glass”.
Whilst not a workplace film per se, for many HR professionals starting out in the UAE region, it can sometimes feel that they, just like Alice, have tumbled down a rabbit hole, when trying to navigate the maze of immigration rules, regulations, and related changes.
