The Ajman Executive Council approved today the launch of the “Our Balanced Summer” initiative, a forward-looking program that reflects the government’s commitment to employee well-being and quality of life during the summer months, in alignment with the Year of Community.
The initiative introduces a 100 percent remote work system every Friday, effective from July 1 to August 22, alongside a reduction in working hours from Monday to Thursday, set from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm, instead of the usual 8-hour day.
These measures aim to foster work-life balance while ensuring the seamless delivery of essential government services across Ajman through flexible internal structures across government entities. The initiative is also designed to promote institutional efficiency, adapt to the summer climate and maintain high-quality public service delivery through optimized organizational workflows.
Initiative to reduce daily transportation emissions
H.H. Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of Ajman Executive Council, who presided over the Council’s meeting today, affirmed that the Ajman Government places great importance on cultivating a dynamic and supportive work environment that meets the professional and personal needs of employees.
He noted that the stability of employees and their families is a cornerstone of the emirate’s development journey, emphasizing that human well-being is a central priority, essential for institutional excellence and the advancement of government performance.
“The ‘Our Balanced Summer’ initiative also reflects our commitment to environmental sustainability by reducing daily transportation emissions, in support of Ajman Vision 2030, which aspires to build a balanced, resilient and sustainable society,” Sheikh Ammar added.
Initiative to enhance productivity across public sector
The Human Resources Department, in coordination with the General Secretariat of the Executive Council, will oversee the initiative’s rollout, develop relevant operational models and present an assessment report by the end of September 2025 to evaluate its impact on institutional performance and employee and community satisfaction.
This initiative embodies the Ajman Government’s ongoing efforts to foster a flexible, inclusive and motivating work culture that enhances productivity and promotes happiness across the public sector.
During the meeting, the Executive Council also approved the launch of the “Ajman Learns” project, an ambitious initiative under Ajman Vision 2030, designed to reinforce the emirate’s commitment to lifelong learning. The project aims to establish robust governance and evaluation frameworks to monitor progress in positioning Ajman as a hub of knowledge, innovation, inclusiveness and sustainable growth.
Sheikh Ammar emphasised that investing in people through lifelong learning is essential to realizing the emirate’s future vision. He further reaffirmed the directives of H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi to prioritise human capital development and build an educational system that underpins sustainable social and economic advancement.
