Dubai 2018 – Workplace Wellbeing

With the UAE Government aiming to be within ‘the top 5 happiest countries in the world by 2021′, and already being the happiest Arab country in the world since 2012, according to the United Nations World Happiness Report;

Happiness has become an obvious trend within the Middle East.

However, according to Gallup’s “State of the Global Workplace” report, employee engagement levels are considerably low, with around 85% of UAE employees feeling unengaged in their work.

Often workplace performance and engagement has a correlation with happiness. When an employee is unhappy, often sickness increases, absenteeism increases, efficiency decreases as well as concentration rates drop.  Thus, to have a happy workforce, you will have an engaged workforce.

The Ministry of Labour, Article 65, states that the maximum amount of ordinary working hours, for adults should be 8 hours per day, 48 hours per week at work and with holiday of 30 days per year, this means that on average roughly 4.7 million workers are working a total of 2035 hours. This indicates that for a quarter of the population, the workplace is where they spend around 30% of their time.  Thus, in order to be happy, they need to have workplace where happiness is a key focus and ultimately a mission.

To be happy and healthy, Workplace Wellbeing is vital.
