The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has announced the rollout of the ‘Our
Flexible Summer’ initiative across all Dubai Government entities, following the successful pilot phase
conducted in 2024.

This initiative aims to enhance work-life balance for government employees and will take place from July
1 to September 12, 2025, with implementation tailored to each entity’s discretion, Dubai Media Office
reported.

The outcomes from the pilot phase of the initiative, executed across 21 government entities in 2024,
demonstrated improved productivity and enriched work environments. Data also indicated a rise in
employee satisfaction and happiness, reaching up to 98 percent, while assessments under the Dubai
Government Excellence Programme revealed significant enhancements in the performance of
participating entities.

The expansion of this initiative this year aligns with the ‘Year of Community’ and marks a strategic
advancement toward improving work-life balance for government employees. By promoting a flexible
and supportive work environment, the initiative aims to elevate employee satisfaction and productivity
while also reinforcing family ties—the cornerstone of a cohesive society.
