Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) is introducing a four-day workweek for its employees starting 1 July 2025 to enhance work-life balance.
This initiative is part of Dubai's 'Our Flexible Summer' project aimed at improving employee well-being and productivity during the summer months, from 1 July to 12 September 2025.
The work schedule will vary based on employee groups, with Group 1 working eight hours a day from Monday to Thursday and Group 2 working seven hours a day with staggered hours on Friday.
The move aligns with Dubai's commitment to employee welfare and mirrors the UAE's 'Year of Community' focus on strengthening family bonds and social well-being.
