6/16/25, 9:33 AM Dubai government entities to have four day work week from July
Strategic step

The initiative’s expansion this year aligns with the ‘Year of Community’ and represents a strategic step towards enhancing
work-life balance for government employees.

By fostering a flexible and supportive work environment, the initiative aims to boost employee satisfaction and productivity,
while also strengthening family ties—the foundation of a cohesive society.

Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of the Dubai Government Human Resources Department, said the ‘Our
Flexible Summer’ initiative reflects the strategic direction of the Government of Dubai to place people at the heart of its

policies.
“This initiative demonstrates our firm commitment to enhancing the government work environment, making it more
adaptable and responsive to the needs of employees and the community,” he said. “The implementation of this year’s
expanded edition, builds on the successful outcomes of the 2024 pilot phase. It reflects a comprehensive vision aimed at
developing an advanced government system that balances institutional efficiency with human well-being. This supports
Dubai’s aspirations to lead in delivering flexible, sustainable, and people-centric government services.”
