The Ruler of Sharjah, Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, has officially approved a new program designed to facilitate the return of retirees and their spouses to the public sector. This initiative introduces flexible part-time employment models, such as three-day work weeks or adjusted hourly schedules, to accommodate senior citizens. Local residents have expressed positive feedback, noting that the scheme provides a renewed sense of purpose and social engagement. Participants emphasize that the value of this program lies in the opportunity to contribute their professional experience and maintain mental well-being rather than focusing solely on financial gain. By fostering continued professional involvement, the government aims to ensure that retired individuals remain active and integrated members of the community.
