To ensure this vision is translated into reality, we decided in September 2019 that the results of the Government of Dubai Customer Happiness, Mystery Shopper and Employee Happiness Index surveys will be released annually on 18 January. I would like to congratulate the top three ranked entities in the Customer Happiness Index which include Dubai Police, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). We also congratulate the winners of the Employee Happiness Index surveys including Dubai Statistics Centre, Dubai Police and Dubai Public Prosecution,” His Highness said.
