Dubai:The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has introduced the 'Enhancing Dubai Government Employee Experience' project. This initiative was launched during an introductory session at Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk, with participation from 53 representatives of 47 entities across the city.
According to Wam, the project aims to foster a collaborative approach among government entities to actively implement employee experience initiatives, thereby improving the overall work environment quality. It is structured around five key pillars physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, social wellbeing, financial wellbeing, and work-life balance. These pillars collectively form a comprehensive framework that addresses employee needs throughout their professional journeys.
Ahmed Abdullah Al Suwaidi, Director of the Human Resources Information Department at DGHR, delivered the opening remarks, emphasizing the project's practical approach to enhancing government work environments. He noted the crucial role of entity representatives in understanding workplace challenges and developing solutions based on employee feedback and experience. The project also focuses on increasing participation in the Dubai Government Employee Wellbeing Index and financial literacy initiatives.
Iman Saleh bin Khatam, Executive Director of the Policies and Programmes Sector at DGHR, underscored the strategic priority of enhancing the Dubai Government employee experience. She highlighted the importance of empowering employees and improving their professional experiences to boost institutional efficiency and service quality. The project seeks to establish a framework that supports employee wellbeing and encourages innovation by linking workplace experience quality with government performance efficiency and sustainability.
The event outlined the project's strategic vision and framework, featuring the Dubai Government Employee Wellbeing Index. This index is designed to measure wellbeing levels and identify improvement areas, guiding initiatives based on data and actual employee needs. Discussions also covered the Financial Wellbeing Initiative, its launch plan, and ways to promote employee participation.
