Dubai: New experiments are being done around the world around work culture and in this episode Dubai has taken a big step. The Government of Dubai has announced a new policy for its employees to work only four days a week. After this decision, government employees will now get a three-day weekly holiday on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which is expected to improve their work-life balance.
This decision is considered an important step towards making Dubai an attractive center for global talent and to increase the quality of life and life of employees. The government believes that this step will not only improve the mental health of the employees, but will also increase their productivity. Although working hours will remain the same, but now they have to complete in four days, which means that the working hours can increase every day.
This model is not new to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Earlier, this policy has been successfully implemented in Sharjah, where its positive results have been seen.
Will this route also adopt a private sector?
After this announcement of the government, now the biggest question is arising whether the private sector of Dubai will also adopt this 4-day work week model? At present, this policy is only for government employees, but it is expected that private companies can consider implementing it in view of the benefits of better work-life balance and increased productivity.
Many experts believe that if the private sector also follows this trend, it can bring a revolutionary change in the working environment of Dubai and make it one of the best places in the world to work. This decision is a progressive step towards the future of work, on which the eyes of the whole world are on.
