In Dubai, a growing number of companies are adopting flexible schedules and remote work options to help employees avoid peak-hour traffic. Many private firms allow their teams to work eight-hour shifts at any time throughout the day, giving employees the flexibility to work from home and minimize rush-hour delays. Carpooling is also being encouraged as part of efforts to ease traffic congestion.
These measures align with Dubai's goal to broaden its flexible hours and remote work policies, aiming to improve traffic flow. Research by local authorities indicates that flexible schedules and remote work could decrease morning peak travel times by up to 30 percent across the emirate.
