It’s the leadership’s wise directives that help the UAE community to adopt happiness and positivity as a work plan and a goal. Last Saturday, these attitudes were reaffirmed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai during his visit to the “Happiness Journey” event which was kicked off at the Dubai Water Canal.

Dubai Customs excelled on happiness indexes in Dubai. It came first in 2016 on Happiness Meter at 94.9% thanks to its coherent work system and the great efforts of its happy employees, Musabih added.
