6/13/25, 9:51 AM DGHR reinforces commitment to inclusive employment for people of determination across Dubai’s government entities
Dubai – The ‘Inclusive Employment 2024’ report, issued by the Dubai Government Human Resources
Department (DGHR), reaffirms Dubai government entities' ongoing commitment to identifying, hiring,
and integrating people of determination into the public workforce. In addition to unlocking their potential,
building their capabilities, and ensuring their effective integration into government work, these efforts

aspire to help them achieve their professional and personal goals, and contribute meaningfully to the
nation's development, in line with Dubai’s standing as an inclusive and empowering society for all.

The steady increase in the number of employees of determination in government entities reflects the
vision of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai,

Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council. His Highness has
actively promoted the importance of integrating individuals of determination across all sectors,
particularly the public sector, and enabling them to realise their potential and skills to shape Dubai's
future and ensure its long-term prosperity.

Integrated Ecosystem

His Excellency Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al-Falasi, Director General of DGHR's Department, emphasised
the significance of this initiative, stating: “The formation of the Higher Committee for the Protection of the
Rights of People of Determination, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid
Al Maktoum, is a significant step towards empowering people of determination—not only through

employment opportunities but also through an integrated ecosystem that begins with assessment and
training, followed by professional follow-up and development. Beyond simply providing jobs, we create
career paths based on competence, fairness, and passion. This strategic direction reflects our
commitment to shaping an inclusive work environment where every member of society, including people

of determination, has the opportunity to define Dubai’s future.”

Insights and Initiatives

According to the report issued by DGHR, the number of people of determination employed across
government entities has reached 326, including 237 UAE nationals. The report also includes an
extensive breakdown by type of disability, educational qualifications, and gender distribution, making it a

valuable resource for policymakers as they develop future strategies to support inclusive employment
initiatives.

Dubai Municipality, the Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Police, Dubai Academic Health
Corporation, and the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs have topped the list of
entities employing the highest number of people of determination.

Through the implementation of broad strategic initiatives aimed at integrating people of determination
into the public sector workforce, DGHR has remained committed to inclusive employment. These efforts
have been carefully designed to provide advanced vocational training aligned with their aspirations and
capabilities.
