Focus on Employee Health and Well-Being

The forum concentrated on two main pillars: 'Employee Health and Promoting Their Psychological Health,'

alongside 'Lessons Learnt from the Best Practices.' With the participation of notable speakers such as Dr.

Mansoor Habib from du, Dr. Aysha Al Dhaheri from Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre, and Dr. Adil Sajwani from
Mediclinic Parkview Hospital, the event provided a rich platform for learning and exchanging initiatives aimed

at improving physical, psychological, and social well-being of employees. The discussions revolved around

maintaining work-life balance and enhancing psychological well-being, underscoring the importance of a

harmonious work environment for fostering creativity, productivity, and engagement.

Aligning with Visionary Leadership

This forum aligns with the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum concerning future job demands
and the pivotal role of employee happiness in achieving a competitive and innovative work environment. The

emphasis on employee well-being corresponds with broader governmental efforts, such as Dubai's proactive

approach to embracing the remote work revolution and investing in digital infrastructure to support flexible
work policies. Additionally, the recent rebranding of Corporate Sports into VIWELL Active, as reported by The

National, highlights the region's commitment to creating a holistic workplace well-being ecosystem.

Exploring Future Initiatives

The HR Forum not only provided a platform for exchanging best practices but also set the stage for future
collaborative efforts among the participating emirates. By bringing together diverse perspectives and

combining resources, the forum aims to explore innovative initiatives for enhancing workplace well-being. The

discussions and insights gained from experts pave the way for developing comprehensive strategies that

address the multifaceted needs of employees, from their physical health to their psychological and social well-
being.
