6/17/25, 4:04 PM Dubai Announces Flexible Working Hours - Dubai News
How Does the Initiative Align with Dubai’s Broader Goals?

The flexible work announcement fits within Dubai’s wider ambition to be a global leader in innovative governance and human-centric
development. The policy supports several strategic objectives:

Promoting healthier work-life integration by allowing employees more time with family and community.
Boosting productivity through employee satisfaction, not surveillance.
Adapting governance to seasonal and environmental realities, such as extreme summer temperatures.

Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of the DGHR, emphasized that the initiative aims to develop an “advanced
government system that balances institutional efficiency with human wellbeing.”

The commitment isn’t just administrative—it’s social, operational, and strategic.
