Some Dubai firms are setting up mini offices in hotels and restaurants to recreate the workplace atmosphere and bolster team spirit.
At a time when many employees are still working from home, it is a creative step that is paying off for companies willing to think outside of the box.
The rise of the pandemic in 2020 led to stay-home measures being implemented, with working from home becoming the norm.
While many have since returned to offices, remote working remains a way of life for others.
“Since the pandemic there has been a surge in the number of teams who have given up their office space but are still meeting at venues across the UAE,” said Thomas Mathew, marketing manager for Letswork, a company that offers a network of locations to work from across the country.
Dubai: Some Dubai schools have this term seen a huge spike in students switch from distance learning to direct classes on campus.
School principals said growing confidence in COVID-19 safety measures at school, a desire to experience school life again and the arrival of vaccines for the coronavirus are some reasons why more students are coming to school.
Last term, before the winter break, 47 per cent of Dubai private school pupils were exclusively engaged in distance learning until November, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority had then said. The rest were coming to school for classes or doing a mix of both.
