        The session, aimed at enhancing creative thinking and promoting a culture of innovation
        within government work environment, highlighted the significance of emotional intelligence
        and its role in driving innovation and sustainable development at workplaces. Moreover, the
        participants explored practical methods of leveraging emotional intelligence to enhance both
        individual and team performance, through interactive activities.

















        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 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
