8/8/24, 11:46 AM Dubai Announces the Piot Launch of ‘Our Flexible Summer Initiative'
balance of government employees, in accordance with best international practices. The launch will
also further our vision to empower human resources by developing smart solutions and innovative
policies to uplift Dubai’s competitiveness. The initiative aims to enhance employees’ quality of life
and promote sustainable use of government resources, positioning Dubai as the ideal city for a
superior lifestyle.”

In preparation for the launch, DGHR conducted a survey to understand the opinions of various
government entities and their willingness to reduce working hours during summer. The initiative
will empower employees to engage in leisure activities after work and reduce energy consumption
within government departments. The proposal garnered exceptional support through the survey,
highlighting an openness to welcoming changes that will promote the work-life balance and well-
being of employees.

DGHR will provide relevant government entities with the requisite resources to pass on feedback
regarding the impact of the initiative on employees and overall productivity. DGHR will also
regularly assess the feedback received to create a final report summarising the initiative’s
outcomes, the department’s recommendations, and its adaptability to various government entities.
