Abstract

Many factors led to the adoption of remote working in the work place. Existing technologies are identified and the readiness of organizations in the UAE to utilize them is assessed. The research combined a thorough literature review along with interviews and surveys from employees in the country’s various public and private sectors. The findings reveal that most companies in the UAE did have the necessary technologies for adopting remote working in a highly efficient and effective way, with a limited impact on the productivity of employees but posing a higher risk of cyber security threats. After the pandemic, the majority of the findings reveal a hybrid system to be adopted in the UAE between working in the office and remotely due to the technological benefits and limited risks.
