The Women’s Committee of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has organised a series of virtual workshops to increase the awareness of female employees on mental anxiety and stress relief especially amid the psychological stress of COVID-19. The female employees learned about deep breathing and simple exercises to help them relax and enjoy a healthy and positive life. The Women’s Committee also organised virtual awareness lectures on adapting, prioritising, and turning Covid-19 challenges into opportunities. The female employees learned about positive change and how to apply it.

“DEWA Women’s Committee supports the vision of the wise leadership and the top management at DEWA to preserve gains and record new achievements under all circumstances. This is through psychological, professional, and social support to all female employees. This is in addition to providing an inspiring and happy work environment that balances their professional and social life. Throughout the year, the Women’s Committee conducts multiple initiatives to encourage female employees to perform their roles to the fullest at work and home. We also provide support for their safety and of others around them. This builds cohesive families and a strong society that is capable of keeping pace with new changes. Amid the new responsibilities of female employees due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Committee has increased its efforts so female employees can adapt to the new normal while ensuring their happiness and knowledge, especially for working mothers. This makes them role models for effective national work and key partners in sustainable development,” said Fatima Mohammed Al Jokar, Chairperson of DEWA Women’s Committee.

More than 300 participating employees praised the Women Committee’s efforts in supporting their mental, professional and personal stability to meet their needs and maintain their excellence and success.
