MOHAP has conducted a health-supportive workplace workshop in Fujairah to assess entities, advance national wellbeing standards, and support the rollout of the Health Promoting Workplace 2025 guideline.
The Ministry of Health and Prevention has organised a workshop titled Health-Supportive Work Environment in the Emirate of Fujairah, in collaboration with the Fujairah Government Human Resources Department. The event reviewed the performance of 14 entities that have been evaluated against the emirateโs health-supportive workplace standards, highlighting progress and areas for improvement.
The workshop was held as part of the 100-Day Projects Initiative, a programme of short-term executive projects aimed at achieving measurable results, accelerating the implementation of priority initiatives, and enhancing institutional performance. It represents a key step towards the activation of the National Guideline for Health Promoting Workplace 2025.
The initiative also reflects the Ministryโs broader policy of embedding preventive health and wellbeing principles within workplace systems to enhance quality of life. By translating health policies into practical applications, the programme seeks to improve employee health, boost productivity, and support national goals for building a more balanced and sustainable society.
During the workshop, MOHAP reviewed the results of assessments conducted across several federal and local entities in the Emirate of Fujairah, with discussions exploring ways to develop a shared understanding of the critical role that individual health and healthy lifestyles play in shaping workplace environments.
The workshop also aimed to help participating entities identify health-related challenges linked to work patterns and strengthen their capacity to analyse institutional realities, enabling the development of innovative, practical solutions that respond to employeesโ needs, sustain performance, and promote workโlife balance.
H.E. Dr Hussain Al Rand, Assistant Undersecretary for the Public Health Sector at MoHAP, stressed that the Ministry adopts an integrated preventive approach that places human health at the top of national policies and plans.
โHealthy workplaces are among the key drivers of wellbeing and quality of life,โ Al Rand said, explaining that the implementation of the National Guideline for Health Promoting Workplace reflects a practical commitment to translating indicators and assessments into clear, actionable plans.
For her part, Nouf Khamis Al Ali, Director of the Health Promotion Department at MOHAP, said the workshop represents a significant transition from assessment to planning and implementation for entities that have applied the national guidelineโs standards.
Al Ali added that reviewing Fujairahโs results and analyzing opportunities for improvement support the shift towards strengthening health-supportive work environment.
