    Boost your productivity: 8 objects to beautify your work desk

    For those working 9-to-5, sitting at the same spot for 8 hours a day and 5 days a week can get pretty mundane. Especially, if your desk is identical to the 30 next to you.
    Remember when most people worked from home during the pandemic and did up their corners to motivate themselves to work? Apply similar energy to your work desk. Clutter and lack of organisation can hamper your productivity.
    Your chaos may be calculated, but it doesn’t help with the constant anxiety of finding everything under a pile of mess (especially when you’re working on a deadline).
    Everyone has that family photo frame or a travel memento from their trip to Europe ages ago, but none of these personalised items helps you regulate your day or make you feel better during the long hours.

    via GIPHY

    Be mindful of your setup – keep it minimal but personalised. Think scented candles, diffusers, fresh flowers, magazines or even productivity journals.
    The concept of keeping an emotional support water bottle may seem bizarre to many — but, if it’s hydrating you while being your arm candy everywhere, what’s the problem again?
    Working long hours doing high-intensity jobs without slowing down and making the process easier for yourself can cause burnout. Of course, this isn’t a replacement for human connections or actual time out, but making a place your own with things that bring you joy will ultimately make you more pleasant during the day.
    If you’re looking for inspiration to do up your desk and add needful products, look no further.

      8 best iced coffee spots to hit for the morning caffeine run before work

      “This is a jumbo-coffee morning. I need coffee in an IV.” — Lorelai Gilmore
      This quote resonates with people who work 9-5 on most mornings. How else is one supposed to get through the eight hours of a work day? With a morning shot of caffeine, that’s how.
      With the UAE weather making it almost impossible to enjoy a hot cappucino or americano in the AM, it’s iced-coffee-to-the-rescue season. Plus, it almost feels like a treat you’re buying for yourself as a reward for adulting in this prickly heat.
      When it comes to iced coffees, not every place can make the cut. It has to be the perfect decoction of the espresso shot, milk of choice, ice and flavouring — no element can overpower the other.
      After trying and testing a couple of popular joints in Dubai, we’ve curated a list of the best iced coffee spots that you can pit stop at before head to work.
      Olab Coffee Shope

      Where: The Walk, JBR and Motor City
      What to try: Iced Salted Caramel Latte

      The UAE is continuing its mission to improve the protection and rights of employees across the country.
      The latest update to policies and laws is set to help and protect UAE domestic workers.
      According to the Khaleej Times, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation stated that as of December 15, 2022 all employers will need to be licensed when hiring domestic workers.
      “The new law stipulates that the recruitment or temporary employment of domestic helpers shall not be allowed unless after obtaining a licence from the ministry,” the Ministry stated.
      Strict rules and regulations will now be in place for recruitment agencies which are licensed and offices to follow in order to protect the working environment of maids, nannies, housekeepers, cooks and more.

      — وزارة الموارد البشرية والتوطين (@MOHRE_UAE) October 10, 2022

      In the new framework announced, all domestic workers are entitled to one paid day off per week; are entitled to 30 days of leave per year; a return ticket home is granted to the employee at the cost of the employer; and more.
      “The UAE continues to establish a legislative framework that safeguards domestic helpers, in line with its mission to establish the country’s pioneering status as a preferred global destination to live and work,” the ministry stated.
      As part of these new laws, new fines have also been introduced to those who do not adhere to regulations.
      Fines of up to Dhs10 million will be enforced for those who employ unlicensed domestic workers, according to The National.
      The outlet also reports a slew of other fines are also in place if laws are not adhered to. This includes a Dhs200,000 fine if workers under the age of 18 are employed and fines of up to Dhs1 million if anyone attempts to employ a worker without a permit or misuses the online portal provided by the ministry.

      Sharjah’s 4-day workweek has had a huge positive impact on the emirate

      This year marked a major shift in the working week for people across the emirate after the UAE announced it would change its working days from Sunday to Thursday to Monday to Friday, aligning with much of the rest of the world.
      Federal government employees in the UAE now work from Monday to Thursday 7.30am to 3.30pm and on Fridays for 4.5 hours with flexibility to be able to work from home.
      However, the emirate of Sharjah opted to forego the traditional five-day workweek, instead opting for a four-day workweek and recent findings have shown it’s had an incredibly positive impact on the emirate.
      Per the Khaleej Times, the Sharjah Executive Council was presented a study earlier this week showcasing the impact of the four-day workweek outlining a significant drop in traffic accidents, as well as an improvement in employees’ productivity.
      According to the report, traffic accidents and deaths in the emirate have dropped by 40 per cent and gas emissions have also significantly decreased.
      Quality of work and productivity have also increased, per the report which analysed the policing, environment, human resources and financial sectors in the emirate.
