Al Falasi praised Dubai’s government entities that have implemented remote work and

flexible working hours policies, noting that some companies allow employees several days
per year to choose remote work.

Additionally, some government bodies provide flexibility in starting work between 6.30am

and 8.30am, allowing employees to distribute their commutes during morning and evening
peak hours, thus facilitating smoother arrivals and departures to and from the workplace.

The adoption of remote work and flexible hours in both government and private sectors

plays a key role in creating a supportive work environment that promotes employee
comfort and security, enhancing quality of life and, in turn, enhancing the overall well-

being of the community.
