Dubai Land Department, EMCT sign MoU to enhance cooperation

Dubai Land Department (DLD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Emirates Association for Management Consultants and Trainers (EMCT) to set the general framework for joint cooperation in the field of exchanging information, experiences and research relevant to the profession of management consultancy, administrative training, developing the skills of national cadres, including trainers and administrative consultants, qualifying them and raising their competitiveness inside and outside the country.

The MoU is in line with ‘Principles of the 50,’ and its keenness to emphasise the human element as the main engine for future growth, as well as based on its continuous efforts to enhance the high professional and administrative capabilities of its human cadres, The MoU was signed by Dr Ali Bin Sebaa Al Marri, Chairman of EMCT, and Mohamed Albidwawi, CEO of the Corporate Support Sector at DLD, based on the joint efforts to build effective knowledge partnership relationships through which the two parties work to activate the consultancy programme for employees to obtain advisory services from the members of the association on matters related to their personal and professional situations in a safe and confidential environment.

This aims to reduce the consequences that may result from the exceptional circumstances the world is going through and the psychological and social pressures and challenges that may result from them towards creating a happy and positive work environment.

According to the agreement, the consultancy programme is based on several pillars, most notably: enhancing corporate awareness of the importance of occupational, moral and psychological health; creating a healthy environment for employees; enabling employees to achieve a balance between work and social life, with the need to provide the necessary moral and psychological care for all employees; and emphasising the values of harmony among corporate and functional goals and personal ambitions.

Albidwawi said, “At DLD, we are constantly keen to provide support in forming a capable and professional human cadre to provide services professionally as well as the permanent readiness to provide services with high professionalism in a distinguished work environment that is supportive and incubating at the same time.”

“Hence, this MoU came to establish an effective partnership that would support our efforts in this regard by benefiting from EMCT’s long experience and expertise in regulating the method and ethics of practicing the profession of management consultancy and training as well as providing studies and research on the same. We look forward to a fruitful cooperation and partnership to achieve our common goals.”

Earlier the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Majid Al Futtaim (MAF) Communities, part of Majid Al Futtaim Properties, announced their ambitions to drive digital initiatives across the industry and simplify the process for potential homeowners. At the forefront of these, the “digital real estate transactions”, which would enable the digitalisation of real estate sales transactions in Dubai.

A move to electronic real estate transactions will not only significantly reduce the time required to complete transactions but will also enhance the customer experience by eliminating the need to be physically present to sign and submit documentation.
