His Excellency Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR
Department, said: “We are thrilled to announce that DGHR will be launching the
‘Our Flexible Summer’ initiative, in line with our long-standing efforts to
nurture a flexible work environment that promotes the work-life 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.
