Sharjah24-WAM: Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, the Ajman Department of Human Resources has launched the “Ajman Ramadan with the Family” initiative, introducing 100 per cent remote working for government entities on Fridays during the Holy Month.

The initiative aligns with the objectives of the “Year of Family” and aims to enhance work–life balance and support employees’ quality of life during Ramadan. It seeks to strengthen family communication and reinforce social cohesion and solidarity.

Flexible working hours during Ramadan

The decision reflects the Ruler of Ajman’s commitment to providing a flexible work environment that recognises the special nature of Ramadan and supports employee wellbeing, thereby positively impacting productivity and institutional performance.

In this context, the department issued a circular to government entities setting official working hours from Monday to Thursday, 9:00 am to 2:30 pm. On Fridays, working hours will be 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, with all duties carried out remotely.

Part of flexible work policies

The department noted that the initiative is part of the Ajman Government’s approach to developing flexible and sustainable work policies that enhance performance efficiency, align with best practices in human resource empowerment and achieve a balance between professional and family life.
