Work and wellbeing

Work and wellbeing is written for HR teams, managers and the people they look after in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. It covers the practical side of a wellbeing programme: what to offer, how to introduce it, and how to keep it going through a Gulf summer, Ramadan and the busy months at the end of the year. The articles look at sleep, stress, movement and heat at work, including teams who work outside and people who travel across time zones. A large part of this category is about trust. A benefit only works if people use it, and people only use it if they trust it. So we explain why an employer does not need to see anyone's readings, and how to say that clearly before anyone signs up. Where the law applies, such as the UAE's personal data protection law or Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law, we point to the official text rather than interpret it. Facts come from health authorities, labour ministries and peer-reviewed research, with sources and dates listed. This is general information, not legal or medical advice. Sisly is paid for once with no subscription, its readings are hosted in the UAE, and the app is in Arabic and English, which matters for teams that work in both.
