Managing workforces in uncertain times

With the continuing conflict in the region and heightened security measures across the UAE, companies are having to think carefully about how they support their staff. We ask Dulsco Group, a company who employs around 25,000 people across the Emirates, how they make sure their staff feel informed and protected. There are growing concerns this morning about the safety of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil and LNG supplies. So what does this mean for global shipping, and how concerned should the maritime industry be right now? With the continuing conflict and missile interceptions overhead, many employees across the UAE are wondering how the current situation affects their working practices. What can employers ask of their staff right now, and what protections do employees have under the law? Plus, sharing homes is part of the reality of life in Dubai. But over the past few months we have also seen authorities take action against unsafe partitioned apartments, with a number of residents suddenly finding themselves evicted and asking the same question: what happens next?
