The “Authority” wins Two Leading in HR and workplace innovation

In yet another milestone that underscores its continued success, the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) has earned two prestigious awards at the GCC GOV HR & Youth Empowerment Summit & Awards 2025, which is one of the region’s most prominent platforms celebrating excellence in human resources and workplace innovation across the public and private sectors.

FAHR was recognized in two notable categories: Best Employee Benefits and Well-being Strategy, for its pioneering Sabbatical Leave for Self-Employment Initiative for the Federal Government employees, launched to advance the UAE’s vision of empowering national talent and fostering entrepreneurship and innovation; and Best Employee Engagement Strategy, for its FAHR Smart App and new Self-Service System Interface Initiatives, which have significantly enhanced the employee experience and strengthened engagement with HR systems and services across the Federal Government.

This achievement reflects FAHR’s leadership in designing and implementing innovative policies and initiatives that promote employee well-being and the sustainability of the government work environment. It also embodies the FAHR’s vision of building a more efficient, agile, and future-ready federal human resources system.

The award further stands as a testament to FAHR’s excellence and continued efforts in advancing the UAE’s government human resources framework, embedding the values of innovation, workplace happiness, and national talent empowerment. It also serves as a strong motivation for the team to continue developing forward-looking policies and initiatives aligned with the wise leadership’s vision, strengthening the Federal Government’s position as a leading workplace at both the regional and international levels.
