When global policy meets the UAE workforce.
Most companies in Dubai run their people on a rulebook written somewhere else: a group head office, a franchisor, or a global policy. That rulebook then meets a Dubai workforce drawn from many countries, with its own calendar and expectations, and someone must decide what holds and what changes. That person is usually the HR leader. The panel is about those decisions.
