Coronavirus: Emaar rolls out work-from-home policy in response to pandemic
Developer confident of overcoming any challenges and is united under the ‘One Emaar’ banner to provide comprehensive support
The Emaar Group has announced a work-from-home policy for its employees effective March 23, as part of preventive measures being undertaken in the UAE to safeguard the community’s health. The move is said to align with the UAE’s ‘Stay at Home’ campaign aimed at combating the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
According to a statement, the developer will continue to monitor global developments and prevention measures, and update its actions based on how the worldwide situation evolves.
Mohammed Al Abbar, chairman of Emaar Properties, said Emaar places the highest priority on the health and safety of its employees, their families, its customers and the broader community.
“The world is facing one of the biggest challenges in its modern history. The UAE has set an example for precautionary and preventive measures against COVID-19. Collective efforts are vital to tide over this critical period,” said Al Abbar.
Al Abbar called on all Emaar employees to abide by the guidelines issued by the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention, the Dubai Health Authority and other authorities advising people to practice social distancing. He also assured Emaar’s customers, partners and affiliates that these measures will not impact the company’s operations.
“We are committed to delivering our services without compromising quality and overall customer satisfaction. We remain united as a group in providing exceptional services as per our customers’ expectations,” added Al Abbar.
In its statement, the developer said its daily operations department will continue to go the extra mile for its customers and that its customer channels will be reachable 24/7, while its frontline teams are committed to providing seamless services during this sensitive period.
