“His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said, ‘The march of excellence continues and does not stop at any limits it keeps going on from one stage to another. The race to excellence does not recognise any border or limitation.’ At DEWA, we are committed to consolidating the foundations of sustainable excellence and spreading its practices by providing a positive work environment that contributes to improving individual and institutional efficiency. This is done by implementing the best international practices in all our operations, and institutionalising a culture of excellence at DEWA among all stakeholders, according to the highest standards of total quality management and sustainable excellence standards,” said Al Tayer.
“During the launch of the fourth generation of the government excellence system, the first of its kind in the world, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, identified the basic features and proactive approach for future governments. This is based on achieving the best accomplishments in various sectors of government, to reflect positively on the level of services provided to citizens and members of society. DEWA has put in place the mechanisms to implement the system to innovatively upgrade government work. These priorities are based on achieving results and building capacity through innovative means, while focusing on the key activities because they are essential entry points for DEWA’s excellence, and accomplishing key achievements in government performance. These plans and strategies and following up on their implementation, contribute to achieving economic, social, and environmental sustainability, and keeping pace with the latest global developments and smart technologies, to develop work mechanisms that enrich the experience of customers and provide seven-star services. Excellence, which is the focus these days, is very importance for us in DEWA. Excellence develops at a steady pace that does not stop at a certain limit. We strive to keep abreast of developments and acquire new skills that enable us to sustain our excellence and improve the quality of our services,” added Al Tayer.
