Page 32 - DGHR PR REPORT - JUNE 2025

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.

In addition to statistical reporting, DGHR's responsibilities also include evaluating the
professional competencies of job seekers from the people of determination community,

designing tailored training programs, and hosting specialised workshops to enhance their
readiness for the job market. In addition, DGHR follows up on their professional development

within the respective government entities to ensure a sustainable and equitable work
environment that fosters growth and excellence.
