By investing in the well-being and empowerment of its employees, Leo’s Developments continues to position itself as a forward-thinking and responsible employer in Dubai’s dynamic business environment.
An Educational Visit from Dubai Police
To mark the end of a successful year, Leo’s Developments hosted representatives from Dubai Police at their offices for an interactive session with the entire team. This visit aimed to educate employees on critical legal and workplace topics pertinent to operating in Dubai.
The Dubai Police team delivered detailed guidance on UAE Labour Law No. 33 of 2021, covering rules for hiring staff, ensuring fair treatment, and avoiding common compliance issues. They also provided insights into the Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Law, highlighting the UAE’s dedication to creating inclusive and equitable workplaces.
A central focus of the session was addressing sexual harassment in the workplace. The officers emphasized the importance of recognizing inappropriate behavior, establishing a zero-tolerance culture, and reporting misconduct through appropriate channels. Their candid discussions offered practical strategies to identify and address such issues, leaving employees feeling reassured and empowered.
The officers also spoke about the broader legal framework businesses must adhere to in Dubai, such as employee contract requirements, end-of-service benefits, and anti-discrimination measures, ensuring that Leo’s Developments continues to uphold best practices.
Honoring Dubai Police’s Commitment
As part of this initiative, senior leaders from Leo’s Developments later visited Dubai Police headquarters to personally meet with the department’s leadership. During this meeting, they presented an Appreciation Award to the Head of Dubai Police as a token of gratitude for their ongoing efforts in safeguarding the community and supporting businesses like Leo’s Developments.
