UAE private sector employees request remote work after spending 12 hours on flooded roads

The recent record-breaking rainfall in the UAE on April 16 left many office-going residents stranded on flooded roads for hours. As the country prepares for another bout of unstable weather on May 2 and 3, private sector workers are urging their employers to allow them to work from home. The National Emergency, Crisis, and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has recommended remote work for all private sector and government employees to ensure safety and well-being during the inclement weather.

Many private sector workers faced a harrowing experience during the previous storm, with some forced to commute to work despite the dangerous conditions. Sheikha M, an Emirati in Dubai, emphasizes the necessity of working from home, citing her previous experience of being stranded and having to leave her vehicle in the floods. She believes that collaboration between the private sector and employees is crucial for safety and efficiency, as working from home can save time wasted on commuting.

Rony Banik, an account manager and expat from Bangladesh, recalls a six-hour journey from his office to his home during the last storm. This time, he plans to take the weather forecast more seriously and hopes that employers will allow remote work even if the weather conditions are not as severe. Providing work-from-home options for employees is essential, especially in a country like the UAE where commuting can be challenging during heavy rainfall.

Prasin Dave, an Indian expat, shares his experience of spending over 12 hours on the road during the last storm and highlights the importance of offering work-from-home options for employees. He believes that in today’s age, when remote work is feasible with just a laptop and an internet connection, companies should prioritize employee safety and well-being during unstable weather conditions. Mohammed Hannan, a marketing executive, appreciates his boss for allowing remote work during difficult weather, as it ensures employee safety and productivity.

Hannan emphasizes the challenges of navigating waterlogged streets during heavy rain, noting that every puddle becomes a hazard. Remote work not only ensures the safety of employees but also allows them to fulfill their responsibilities more efficiently. With the upcoming unstable weather, it is crucial for companies to prioritize employee well-being and implement work-from-home policies to mitigate the risks associated with commuting on flooded roads. This proactive approach can enhance employee safety, productivity, and overall satisfaction during inclement weather conditions in the UAE.
