The UAE has long been a beacon of progress, showing the world what it means to lead, to innovate, and to set new benchmarks across industries and lifestyles. This vision continues to guide organisations across the country, including Galadari Brothers, which is championing Emiratisation and supporting Emirati women in the workplace.
“For me, it is a profound honour to contribute, even in a small way, to this journey through my role as Group Emiratisation Manager at Galadari Brothers, a role that allows me to empower Emiratis, support their career journeys, and pave the way for their growth and development,” said the company’s Group Emiratisation Manager.
Emiratisation is more than a target; it represents a long-term commitment to unlocking the potential of Emirati talent, creating opportunities for professional excellence, and building a pipeline of future leaders across sectors. At Galadari Brothers, Emiratisation has become a cornerstone of the company’s strategy, supported by senior leadership and employees alike.
The connection between Emiratisation and women’s empowerment has gained added significance as the UAE marks Emirati Women’s Day. Both initiatives focus on providing talent with the tools, opportunities, and guidance needed to thrive. Emirati women now make up more than half of the nation’s university graduates and are increasingly stepping into leadership positions across industries. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has noted, “We have gone beyond the stage of empowering women; we are empowering society through women.”
Within Galadari Brothers, female employees are encouraged to balance professional responsibilities with family life, a factor highlighted by the company’s Group Emiratisation Manager, who spoke about her experience. “The company has invested in me, empowered me, and supported me not only as a professional but also on a personal level as a mother balancing family and career. What has always stood out is the genuine care and compassion shown by both senior leadership and colleagues. That understanding made me feel truly valued, not just for what I deliver, but for who I am as a person.”
The company’s approach reflects a broader national agenda to nurture Emirati talent through flexible work environments, mentoring programs, and meaningful career development opportunities. For Emirati women, this support carries added significance as they juggle professional ambitions alongside family responsibilities.
The Group Emiratisation Manager emphasized the importance of organisational commitment to women’s empowerment. “To every organisation, I say: believe in Emirati women, give them the platform to lead, and the freedom to thrive. The results will extend far beyond the workplace, shaping the future of our nation.”
As the UAE continues to set global benchmarks in leadership, innovation, and inclusivity, initiatives like Emiratisation and women’s empowerment are positioning Emiratis at the forefront of the nation’s ongoing growth and transformation.
