According to the report, issued by the Dubai Government Excellence Programme (DGEP), an initiative of the General Secretariat of The Executive Council, Dubai government entities achieved an average customer happiness rating of 93 percent, while the average employee happiness rating stood at 88 percent through 2023.

Sheikh Hamdan welcomed the results of the report, highlighting that the government’s constant efforts to improve its performance are in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to offer exemplary public services.

He congratulated entities that topped customer happiness reviews, with the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment (97.7 percent), the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (96.7 percent) and the Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services (96.1 percent) leading the way.
