Furthermore, they are expected to manage the consistent implementation of these programs across ADNOC Group companies. ADNOC’s total rewards framework is based on the principles of fairness, equity and competitiveness. Our remuneration framework, which is a component of the total rewards framework, includes a combination of both fixed and variable pay components. The variable pay components are linked to the achievement of performance objectives which include sustainability, operational efficiency and workforce development targets. ADNOC provides an employee supportive work environment and our benefits package for full-time employees includes life insurance, healthcare, parental leave, retirement and pension plans and end of service policy. ADNOC offers family-friendly policies designed to support employees' family and personal needs. Women receive maternity leave and the option for extended custody leave for childcare, with flexible working arrangements available for up to 18 months. Male employees are entitled to paternity leave, ensuring that both parents can be actively involved in early childcare. “At the Family Development Foundation, we believe that strong, resilient families are the foundation of a thriving society.
