Dubai Customs started training their employees on remote working using the Linkedin platform following the directives of the government authorities in this regard. There are more than 10,000 training courses on Linkedin and 35 new courses are being released each week. Employees can access the courses using their ios or android smart mobiles.
With this Dubai Customs wanted to make best use of time for their employees whilst working remotely and enable them to access thousands of training courses on different fields including future sciences such as AI, big data and cybersecurity.
Remote working, as studies show, can be more productive, but it does take a certain amount of discipline. The most successful remote employees are those who take regular breaks, have set working hours, and keep to-do lists or use other organizational tools to help them throughout the day.
Dubai Customs has also enabled their employees to access the training courses available on the World Customs Organization, which contains 15 training specialized programs.
The nursery at Dubai Customs has also applied distance learning for its children.
Mohammed Al Ghaffari, Acting Executive Director, Human Resources, Finance and Administration Division said:
“ Following the government guidelines and directives we made available online training courses for all our employees. We shared with them a big number of links and websites that they can use easily.”
Al Ghaffari restated Dubai Customs’ incessant efforts to provide their employees with a friendly flexible work environment and all the necessary tools and requirements to ensure productivity and commitment.
