H.E. Abdulla Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, stated that fostering a culture of innovation
at workplaces is essential for keeping up with rapid changes, anticipating future challenges and addressing

them effectively.

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

challenges. She further underscored its ability to empower individuals by helping them enhance collaboration

data at workplaces to develop forward-looking policies that promote diversity and inclusivity within

government institutions.
