استقبلنا نخبة من القيادات من مجموعة طيران الإمارات ..
تأسيس شركة طيران في دبي كان حلماً قبل أكثر من 4 عقود .. راهن البعض ضده .. وحاول الكثيرون صرفنا عنه ..
اليوم أصبح الحلم يضم 112 ألف موظف .. ويربطنا مع 277 مدينة .. وينقل أكثر من 50 مليون مسافر سنوياً .. ويولد إيرادات تتجاوز 137 مليار درهم سنوياً.

لم يتوقف الحلم .. ما زلنا نحلم بتوسيع الأعمال .. وبافتتاح مطار عالمي أكبر .. وبالوصول لكل مدينة في القارات الخمس ..
اليوم دبي هي مطار العالم .. وملتقى البشرية .. وحلقة وصل بين قارات وحضارات العالم .
العبرة : إذا كنت صاحب عزيمة وإرادة .. لا تسمح لأحد أن يقف بينك وبين أحلامك .. لأن ما تستطيع تخيله .. تستطيع تحقيقه .

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has called on private sector companies in areas most impacted by the exceptional weather conditions forecasted for the UAE to take precautions in outdoor work environments where it is difficult to suspend operations, urging employers to ensure workers’ health and safety during their commute to and from these sites and that occupational health and safety requirements are met.

MoHRE issued a circular that stated: “In light of the exceptional weather conditions forecasted for the UAE, and in coordination with relevant authorities across the country, we advise private sector companies to take all necessary precautions and make sure that occupational health and safety requirements are met to ensure the safety of their workers during the expected period of weather fluctuations”.

It added: “Companies are required to comply with the directives issued by the relevant local authorities in each emirate regarding exceptional weather conditions and their impact on business operations.”

Well, well, well. That felt coordinated. Turns out it was.

All software projects are a race against time, and teams tend to do the bare minimum to go faster. In doing this, they end up repeating a lot of activities manually.
