With UAE executives facing tough decisions to cut back on flexible work, employee well-being, and skill development, workplace mobility has become a priority for the lot of them as economic challenges creep up.
According to a LinkedIn study surveying 2,900+ C-level executives from large companies across the world, 41 percent of UAE executives will prioritise workplace mobility such as “giving employees to move into different roles within the organisation.
“Employees who make an internal move are more likely to stay at their organisation longer than those who stay in the same role,” the study said.
The priority for executives comes after the study revealed that 57 percent of them do not plan to cut costs, saying that they are holding back on making cuts to “maintain workforce morale and productivity.”
With UAE leaders keeping employee motivation and engagement as their top workforce priorities over the next six months, some employers have sought to “alleviate financial pressures” on their employees by granting incentives such as subsidised commuting costs (46 percent), or by offering direct financial well-being assistance (38 percent) to address the rising living costs.
The LinkedIn study which targeted UAE businesses surveyed 2,900+ C-level executives from large companies across the world, where it was revealed that the current global climate is slowing down progress in important areas of working life such as skills development, employee well-being, and flexible work.
