In a step aimed at raising insurance awareness among all community segments, promoting the role assumed by the Authority in terms of providing such segments, encompassed by the law, with the relevant services, discussing issues and proposals serving the interests of the involved parties, spreading the ideas aimed at promoting community cohesion and solidarity, instilling the participation of the pensioners at the community events and activities, and contributing to the expertise transfer and exchange among the current and future generations, the General Pension and Social Security Authority announced the launch of its mobile application “Pensions Majlis”. 

On this occasion, His Excellency, Mohammed Saif Al Hameli announced that the Authority is keen to establish community bridges among the community segments, including participants, pensioners, beneficiaries, and business entities and that, as to exchange opinions on the topics aimed at ensuring the success of the efforts exerted by both parties as to establish a more efficient insurance relationship. He also noted that the Authority shall remain committed to exerting efforts aimed at meeting all its obligations towards the insured and pensioners and that, as to ensure providing them and their families with a decent life currently and in the future. 

Adding to the aforementioned, he said: “The “Pensions Majlis concept lies within having the Authority assume a role in terms of the councils regulated by official and semi-official entities of the Emirates of the country and that, as to establish a new opportunity window that promote the communication opportunities among the various community segments, explaining opinions on shared and common issues and exchanging them, listening to all the proposals submitted by business owners, insured, and pensioners, and developing proposals that may be implemented.”

He noted that such step is expected to establish, for the Authority, a general overview on the services, ideas, or initiatives that may be developed and listed under the prospective plans to be adopted by the Authority, as well as to determine the allocations that shall assist it in the process of translating such ideas into actual projects. Al Hameli stressed that the Authority is open to receiving and adopting all the ideas that contribute to the achievement of satisfaction and happiness of all the segments covered by the law.

In addition to the aforementioned, he noted that, as the Authority is competent in terms of promoting the quality of life of all the community segments covered by law, it believes that the responsibilities shared with these segments ensures fostering private and public gains in favour of all the involved parties, noting that achieving the insurance-related objective requires being aware of the consequences imposed on all involved parties, including the relevant rights and obligations and that, as such awareness enables the party to avoid falling victim of inconveniences and achieving the optimum benefit from advantages. 

Finally, it is worth noting that the General Pension and Social Security Authority has held the first Council meeting at one of the popular cafés at the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, where representatives of the Authority met for three hours and discussed matters and issues relating to the insured and pensioners who, in turn, welcomed this step and described it as promoting and strengthening the relationship between the Authority, its partners, members, pensioners, and business parties.
