“Dubai Culture” Organises Training to Ensure Business Continuity

Dubai Culture & Arts Authority (Dubai Culture), the Emirate’s dedicated entity for culture, arts, heritage and literature, organised a training programme for the risk management team according to the ISO certificate (22301:2012) standards, the team was awarded certificates by Saeed Al Nabouda, Acting Director General at Dubai Culture.

Plans were set in place to ensure that no delays impact work progress during emergency situations by having the Dubai Culture team review risk analysis and assessment policies for the business continuity management system. The training aimed to help build and improve upon employee response times during an emergency by assisting them in understanding the steps, roles, and responsibilities required for successful risk management.

Saeed Al Nabouda, Acting Director General at Dubai Culture, commented: “We at Dubai Culture are always keen on developing our staff skills in various fields. The aim of this course was to improve upon the skills of the risk management team in order to support the business continuity system of the Authority, and to assist all its departments and organisational units to perform their operations optimally. Such initiatives support our mandate to establish Dubai as a global, creative and sustainable city for culture, arts, heritage, and literature by enabling these four sectors to spread happiness among the community.”

Applying the business continuity standard is part of the directives of The Executive Council of Dubai whose interest is to put a system in place as a precaution against future challenges that the Emirate may be faced with. In order to overcome such situations, a multitude of Dubai’s institutions and departments will be required to coordinate with each other in a timely manner.
