GPSSA launches the Our Stories competition to raise awareness on the pension law
- The initiative targets those covered by the UAE’s Federal Pensions Law and allocates valuable prizes to the winners with a value of Dh2,000
- The competition is presented twice a month on GPSSA’s social media channels
- One of the most important objectives behind the competition is to encourage individuals to research, investigate and apply the law in their day-to-day lives
Abu Dhabi, 22nd September 2022: The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) launched the Our Stories campaign today with an intent to enhance the overall level of awareness regarding the federal pension law amongst members covered by its provision.
The initiative consists of a set of stories regarding important pension regulations and practices, with a number of questions that contestants, covered by the provisions of the law, must answer correctly in order to win Dh2,000. The competition will take place twice a month via GPSSA’s social media channels, including Instagram, Twitter and Facebook under GPSSSAAE.
Our Stories comes within the framework of the authority’s endeavor to implement innovative awareness methods that motivate members covered by the law to research and investigate legal material and clauses that may be initially challenging to comprehend. Members will benefit more from their insurance participation through this exercise, since it will familiarize them with their rights and obligations.
The campaign targets employers and insured Emiratis working in the government or private sector, pensioners, beneficiaries, GCC citizens working in the UAE (who can benefit from the insurance protection extension system), human resources departments (across different entities), graduates and university students who enter the labor market.
The Our Stories campaign focuses on raising awareness on the pension law and the insurance benefits it encompasses, while highlighting the importance of social security and its role in protecting the insured from injuries and/or work-related risks during working hours, as well as the role of employers in enabling the GPSSA to fulfill its obligations towards contributors, while raising awareness amongst entities and insured individuals regarding their obligations and duties.
