Moreover, there was traditional food present in the headquarters and other buildings of the company to revive the taste pallet of people and remind them of thetas. of the past. The company’s celebrations were not only targeted to local employees to remind them of their heritage, but were also targeted to non-local employees to teach them of our culture and traditions. Hence, employees from all nationalities joined the cultural activities and participated in competitive heritage contests demonstrating deep knowledge in the Emirati culture and heritage.
