Optional four-day workweek pilot gives e& employees, flexibility encouraging greater productivity and work-life balance 

Abu Dhabi, UAE: e& has piloted a four-day workweek for employees across three departments in the UAE, becoming the first technology company to embrace a global call for workplace flexibility.

Recognising that employee engagement and well-being are directly linked to productivity and innovation, e& launched this pilot to continue to be at the forefront of future workplace policies and models.

By fostering an environment where employees feel valued, have opportunities for growth, and are empowered to balance their work and personal lives, e& aims to lead the way on workplace innovations not only in the technology sector, but also in the wider business landscape of the region.

Dena Almansoori, Group Chief Human Resources Officer at e&, said: “We are thrilled to pilot this initiative. Just as we continuously innovate in our products and services, we also recognise the need to modernise workplace strategies. What may have worked in the past may not be suitable for the future.
