How to Deal with Work Pressures?” The lecture, which was held at the Police officers Club in Abu Dhabi, was delivered by Dr. Khalifa Ali Al Suwaidi, Assistant Professor, Department of Curriculum and Learning Methods, the Faculty of Education at the U.A.E.

It is also part of a series of lectures organized by the Emirates Institute, to promote knowledge and spread culture among all personnel in the Naturalization, Residency and Ports Sector.

At the beginning of his lecture, Dr. Khalifa Al Suwaidi tackled the connection between loyalty to the homeland and commitment to work, as well as the pressures of life faced by community members. He also raised several questions that underscore the importance of commitment to work and the love and dedication to the homeland.

Moreover, Dr. Al Suwaidi also touched on the professional loyalty indicators, as a verbal contract between the employee and an employer, and provides requirements for success.

“There are direct factors that lead to success in building loyalty, such as linking personal and professional goals with work, its vision, values, mission and objectives; developing team spirit among employees; and promoting accountability and responsibility. Indirect factors that affect work performance and loyalty include pressures of both work and life”, explained Dr. Al Suwaidi; stressing that teamwork is the essential component behind all organizations’ success.

Furthermore, Dr Khalifa called for the need to recognize that human life is not perfect, thus we must organize our life, be tolerant, avoid thinking about revenge and have psychological contentment to enjoy happiness in life.
