6/17/25, 4:04 PM Dubai Announces Flexible Working Hours - Dubai News
The 2025 policy also supports the UAE’s “Year of Community”, which places emphasis on family ties, mental health, and social
connectedness.
Longer weekends and flexible Fridays allow employees to spend more time with their families during school holidays an often stressful
time for working parents.
This move is also expected to:
Decrease absenteeism during school-related activities
Improve employee engagement across generations
Encourage participation in community initiatives and volunteering programs
For a city where many residents are expatriates balancing professional duties with distant family obligations, the flexible hours add
emotional value beyond mere operational convenience.
