Fresh news from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) brings attention to a significant issue: an astounding majority of the UAE workforce admits 'quiet quitting.' This revelation, as reported by Gallup, sheds light on a critical concern within the country's labor market but also on the role of leaders on building healthy work cultures.

Gallup's extensive research reveals that low employee engagement is not only a local problem but also a global challenge. Shockingly, the costs associated with diminished work engagement are estimated to reach a staggering $8.8 trillion, equating to approximately 9 percent of the global gross domestic product (GDP).
