Last week, Sharjah announced its decision to adopt a four-day workweek for its government entities from January next year.
Making the announcement, the Executive Council of Sharjah said the changes are in line with the UAE government's recent decision to adopt a shorter workweek to "boost productivity and improve work-life balance".
