One small idea made a big difference. Dr. Mohammed Suhail Al Muhairi, a Dubai government employee, proposed a simple but powerful concept: introduce flexible summer working hours to support employees during the hottest months of the year. That idea led to the launch of the \u2018Our Flexible Summer\u2019 initiative, and it\u2019s already proving to be a game-changer.<\/p>\n

According to DGHR\u2019s assessment of the pilot phase, the new structure brought major improvements across the board:<\/p>\n The department highlighted that this recognition isn\u2019t just about one suggestion; it\u2019s about reinforcing a culture where employee voices matter and where smart ideas are turned into action.<\/p>\n H.E. Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, said the initiative reflects a broader strategy to invest in human capital. \u201cWith the right support, these ideas can be translated into effective success stories that make a difference in the lives of employees and the wider community,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n The flexible work model was introduced during a structured trial phase and was closely monitored for impact. It\u2019s part of a wider vision by the Dubai Government to promote innovation, improve service delivery, and support employee well-being, all at once.<\/p>\n With outcomes like these, Dubai is sending a clear message: flexible work can be both productive and people-focused. And when employees are empowered, everyone benefits! *Hint hint* Private sector employees are hoping for the same strategy to be implemented.<\/em><\/p>\n READ NEXT: Indian Rapper Emiway Bantai Had A Dangerous Fall During His Music Video Shoot In Dubai<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Stay in the loop with Dubai\u2019s hottest news, right at your fingertips!
