Ramadan is a holy and a special month in the GCC region. It is the month of spirituality, generosity, and family gathering. Therefore, maintaining employee motivation is important to ensure high productivity.
Employers care about employees’ well-being. Putting them at the top of the list enhances the work environment at the organization. Indeed, this guarantees to retain talents permanently.
Following the four intelligent practices helps boost employees’ productivity during Ramadan in GCC workplaces.
Offer flexible working hours.
Employees’ working hours are altered during the holy month of Ramadan. Hence, time management and flexibility enable employees to work in a comfortable way. For example, they can manage their pre-dawn meals and evening meals. This helps in creating a work-life balance.

Provide Ramadan bonuses.
Managers can spread happiness and an environment of joy among their employees by valuing their work efforts and offering bonuses. They will create memories and have an enjoyable time during this month. For instance, you can create a financial bonus system to boost their mood during work.
Cultivate a supportive work culture.
Create a cooperative work environment in the organization by encouraging employees to communicate and plan together to achieve tasks. Indeed, they can share their cultural backgrounds with each other. Fostering positive vibes can uplift team bonds as well. Employees’ productivity will rise when they feel that they are supported by their managers.

Encourage remote work.
People can work from any place that makes them feel satisfied. This helps employees choose a comfortable workplace.
