H.E. stated: “At DGHR, we consider human capital as a critical facilitator of innovation. In line
with this vision, we equip our employees with the requisite tools and skills, empowering them

to think creatively and develop forward-looking solutions. The events and workshops organised
by 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.

Furthermore, in alignment with its ongoing efforts to embrace innovation, a delegation from
