Dubai Reintroduces Flexible Summer Work Hours for Government Staff
‘Our Flexible Summer’ offers two schedule options
Dubai’s government has relaunched its ‘Our Flexible Summer’ initiative, allowing public sector employees from July 1 to September 12 to choose between two flexible work schedules—an eight‑hour Monday‑to‑Thursday week with Fridays off, or a seven‑hour Monday‑to‑Thursday schedule with a half‑day Friday.
The program follows a successful trial phase and aims to enhance productivity and employee satisfaction during the intense summer heat, allowing each department to implement the plan according to operational needs :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
