DGHR as part of the UAE Innovation Month further exemplify our enduring efforts in this regard.

Moreover, as a government entity, we are committed to creating a dynamic work environment that
integrates emotional intelligence with innovative technologies to uphold excellence in

governance.”

His Excellency further remarked: “As we step into a new era necessitating highly agile and

inclusive work models, it is pertinent to position institutional innovation as an integral facet of
daily operations, rather than a periodic initiative. Upholding this objective, DGHR implements

various strategies to positively shape the nation’s future and drive transformative change, further

solidifying the Dubai Government’s position as a global leader in effective governance.”

During the workshop, Cox highlighted the role of emotional intelligence as a key facilitator of
transformation and growth in modern workplaces, where innovation and adaptive thinking are key

to overcoming evolving challenges. She further underscored its ability to empower individuals by

helping them enhance collaboration and boost productivity.

DGHR also organised a workshop titled ‘Towards a More Inclusive Workplace’, led by Linda
Sabarini, a researcher and regional consultant. The session explored the importance of maintaining

gender-classified data at workplaces to develop forward-looking policies that promote diversity
and inclusivity within government institutions.

Additionally, an interactive virtual meeting titled ‘Innovation Knowledge Share’, was held for
participants and winners of the IdeasUK competition. It served as a dynamic platform for the

exchange of creative ideas and practical experiences, paving the way for cross-sector collaboration
and nurturing a culture of innovation at government workplaces.

Moreover, as a part of the Innovation Club’s activities, a series of innovation labs were held under

key themes such as: ‘Community Engagements of DGHR’ and ‘A Positive Organisational

Culture’. Furthermore, a specialised workshop titled ‘Imagination in AI Workshop – GovDizer’,
exploring the potential of AI and its role in developing innovative government solutions, was held.
