Her Excellency Dalal Al Shehhi, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Labour Protection at MoHRE, stressed the Ministry’s commitment to maintaining continuous engagement with workers, recognising their role as key partners in the UAE’s journey to excellence across all sectors. Al Shehhi noted that regularly involving workers and launching initiatives dedicated to them have become a permanent part of the Ministry’s programme, and a source of happiness and relief for workers, offering them a mix of enjoyment and benefits.

Al Shehhi explained that the UAE’s labour ecosystem is founded on a modern vision that integrates workers as a core component of the economy, acknowledging their critical role in advancing the labour market and ensuring its global leadership. Her Excellency underscored the profound appreciation and recognition the workforce receives in the UAE, expressed prominently in the second edition of the Emirates Labour Market Award, one of the nation’s most prestigious awards which honoured 48 winners, including establishment employees and domestic workers.”

The UAE has notably strengthened its global leadership in terms of promoting workers’ wellbeing, happiness, stability, and quality of life, particularly through its social protection system, including the Unemployment Insurance Scheme, Savings Scheme, health insurance plans, and the Wage Protection System, and other pioneering initiatives that support private sector employees, in addition to celebrating and honouring exceptional workers.
