Said Abdullah Al Balushi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Labour for Human Resources Development, presided over the launch, which was held during the Labour Forum in Dhofar Governorate. The event brought together government entities and human resources specialists to promote institutional excellence. Mohammed Mubarak Al Kalbani, Director General of Development and Quality Assurance at the Ministry of Labour, explained that the project aims to develop the government's human resources system by linking employee motivation directly to performance and achievement, in line with the objectives of 'Oman Vision 2040.'

The project to develop the rewards and incentives system in the government sector represents a step in developing the government human resources system and linking motivation to performance and achievement, in line with the targets of "Oman Vision 2040."

The 'Ejada Card' project integrates a modern electronic system offering benefits and services to employees in government units that implement the Ejada system. This is achieved through strategic partnerships with private sector institutions and companies. Al Kalbani highlighted the trend towards adopting digital solutions in human resource management and embedding a culture where recognition and motivation are sustained practices.

During the forum, 13 government units were honored for their leading application of the individual Ejada system in 2026. These included various governorates, the Ministry of Education, Oman Investment Authority, and the Ministry of Health, among others. The forum also featured several working papers discussing topics such as the future of human resources, institutional innovation, personal empowerment, and the role of institutional excellence in government work culture.
