The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, has organised the Stakeholder Happiness Strategy Workshop and Creativity Lab, with the participation of Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Managing Director and CEO of DEWA, senior management, and several staff members.

The creativity lab included the development of strategic frameworks to upgrade services and ensure the happiness of stakeholders.

Speaking at the event, Al Tayer said, "I would like to welcome you today to our Internal Stakeholder Happiness Strategy Workshop and Creativity Lab and to launch the DEWA Strategy Week 2017, with a focus on happiness. The Strategy Week is essential for us all to understand better how we will move forward with our plans, and how we will contribute to the future of Dubai, the UAE, and the world.

"This supports the vision of Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to instil happiness within all government organisations. His Highness has made the happiness of society a strategic priority and is using every possible resource to achieve this. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed once said, ‘Happiness, positive lifestyle, government commitment and genuine spirit unite the UAE community.’ "I would like to share with you an inspiring statement by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed: ‘The job of the government is to achieve happiness for people.’ This is why we are here today. I value all your contributions to help us enhance our stakeholders’ happiness as efficiently as possible. I look forward to this being not just a plan, but a well-executed victory and a successful milestone for DEWA that we can all be proud of," he concluded.

The lab focussed on positive discussions and the exchange of innovative ideas to promote happiness. The schedule included a presentation of DEWA’s strategy on happiness, as well as a number of suggestions and initiatives to promote happiness and integrate it within DEWA’s corporate brand.

Due to its keenness to support and strengthen strategic partnerships with the public and private sectors, DEWA organises the creativity lab to inform stakeholders about its strategic plan 2021, identify their aspirations for the next phase, and share knowledge, experiences and best practices. This will increase the happiness of all its stakeholders.
