In line with this approach, DGHR adopted the innovative proposal and transformed it into an official government decision under the
'Our Flexible Summer' initiative. Launched in 2024 with the active participation of several government entities, the initiative was
designed to directly address employees' requirements during the summer months. It was launched through a pilot phase, during
which the Department developed a structured implementation framework. Furthermore, DGHR closely observed the initiative's
development, execution, and impact across all operational aspects, further enhancing the work environment and ensuring employee
well-being.

During the pilot phase assessment, the Department received tangible positive outcomes, such as a notable increase in key
performance indicators, including productivity, customer service, and employee satisfaction. It also resulted in an 87 per cent
improvement in employees' ability to complete tasks on time, a 96 per cent improvement in customer service with zero complaints
and a 98 per cent improvement in employees' happiness and enthusiasm in the workplace.

These outcomes reaffirm the Department's commitment and its strong belief in the significance of listening to employees, drawing on
their ideas and experiences, and translating individuals' ideas into actionable, measurable institutional policies. This approach not
only boosts employee performance and productivity but also ensures that government services meet the highest standards of
innovation and efficiency, without compromising employee well-being or experience.

The Department remains dedicated to developing a progressive government work model based on innovation, collaboration and
sustainability. It continues to promote a supportive environment that encourages progress and initiative, values individual
contributions, and maintains innovative and sustainable practices, further ensuring excellence, well-being, and high performance
across the government sector and the nation.
