The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, on Tuesday launched its Excellence Days initiative, for the fourth year in a row, at DEWA’s head office, the sustainable building in Al Quoz, Jebel Ali Station, Warsan, and the Reading Tent in Zabeel Park.

This is part of DEWA’s commitment to establishing the foundations of excellence and implementing its strategy of promoting a culture of sustainable excellence among its staff.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, launched the initiative in the presence of DEWA’s executive vice presidents, vice presidents, and a large number of staff members from all sectors.

The Excellence Days programme features activities, lectures, and workshops by experts and specialists in excellence. The activities highlight the best practices and foundations of excellence and seek to spread a culture of sustainable excellence. Distinguished staff members will also share their success stories in excellence.

In his opening speech, Al Tayer noted that by organising Excellence Days, DEWA aims to promote and consolidate the foundations and concepts of excellence and leadership among its staff and emphasise their effective contribution in its journey towards excellence.

Al Tayer quoted Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who once said, ‘The march of excellence continues and does not stop at any limits; it keeps going on from one stage to another. The race to excellence does not recognise any border or limitation.’ "At DEWA, we are committed to consolidating the foundations of sustainable excellence and spreading its practices by providing a positive work environment that contributes to improving individual and institutional efficiency. This is done by implementing the best international practices in all our operations, and institutionalising a culture of excellence at DEWA among all stakeholders, according to the highest standards of total quality management and sustainable excellence standards," Al Tayer said.

He urged DEWA’s team to continue the march of excellence, in line with the directives of the wise leadership, and their vision to become a sustainable, innovative world-class utility.
