Marking the start of the return-to-work phase after a short period of remote work necessary to limit the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19), the message reflected H.H. Sheikh Saud’s concern for the health and safety of all workers.
Conveying care for all employees, the message expressed H.H.

“Thank you for highlighting the true image of the UAE and its ability to deal with testing challenges. Returning to your offices today is an affirmation of the continuity of life and a message that proves your resolve, your values, and your desire to fulfill your obligations to your homeland. You are showing today your true qualities and the strength of your resolve. I am proud seeing each one of you undertaking your professional responsibilities with such diligence and perseverance,” said H.H. Sheikh Saud.
“I extend my sincere thanks to our healthcare heroes for their discipline and commitment to their professions and for the honorable sacrifices they have made, which will remain as a shining example for our future generations. I also express my great gratitude to all the work teams who have shown that they are up to the challenge and who have embodied the spirit of preparation, coordination and working with unity.

Sheikh Saud.
“This global situation has proved that our choice to invest in building human capital has given us great resilience in dealing with this crisis.

This is a result of years of tireless work since the establishment of the Union. Today we are reaping the fruits of what we have sown.” H.H.
