Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced the Communities of Practice initiative to encourage the exchange of knowledge, experience and best practices amongst employees. The ultimate aim of the initiative is to promote the corporate business, enhance the performance and raise the cognitive maturity of RTA’s human resources. 

“This initiative is part of RTA’s ongoing efforts to invest in employees cognitive and innovate skills and their professional experiences in various relevant aspects. Targeted fields include risk management, corporate excellence, mobility, financial affairs, future fore-sighting, innovation, sustainability, corporate excellence, artificial intelligence, and reading among others,” said Naser Abu Shehab, CEO of Strategy and Corporate Governance Sector, RTA.

The overall objective of the initiative is to leverage employee performance and realise strategic objectives of the RTA,” he noted.

It also seeks to broaden the scope of their accumulated experience, enhance their loyalty and boost the sense of their belonging to the RTA,” added the CEO of Strategy and Corporate Governance Sector.
