The partnership comes as a step towards our goal of implementing international best
practices to update policies pertaining to the empowerment of human resources, improve

government performance, and enhance productivity, all of which will eventually boost Dubai's
competitiveness. The webinars by DGHR in this collaboration are highly significant as they

provide insights from global experts while highlighting the economy and global trade, as well
as the challenges and opportunities present. These webinars also address a wide range of

topics that are of interest to the business community, which includes entrepreneurs,
merchants, suppliers, investors, as well as SMEs.”

“These discussions also offer a unique opportunity to share approaches for promoting
inclusivity and balance in the workplace and discover strategies for creating a more diverse

and sustainable economic landscape. To maximise institutional efficiency and ensure that
human development programs are in sync with current trends, they also focus on improving

policies related to human resource empowerment, making these programs more compatible
with the national goals,” Al-Falasi added.

Iman Saleh Bin Khatam, Director of Policy and Program Support at DGHR, inaugurated the

webinar on 'Promoting Gender Balance in the Workforce', and during her opening remarks,
she presented an overview of the UAE's initiatives to advance gender balance and highlighted

its impact on various workforce policies and regulations. The webinar also featured a series of
