Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East. 'Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,' she explains. 'Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer's discretion and require approval.' If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.

IBM report: Data breach costs drop 18% in the Middle East, reaching SAR 27mln in 2025
Dubai, UAE – IBM (NYSE:IBM) released its 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, revealing that the average cost of a data breach for businesses in the Middle East reached SAR 27.00 million. This represents a decrease of approximately 18% from SAR 32.80 million the year prior. According to the report, the top three factors that reduced breach costs for local businesses were AI/ML-driven insights, encryption and a DevSecOps approach. In the Middle East, lost business remained the largest cost category in 2025, averaging SAR 11.63 million per breach. This was followed by post-breach response costs at SAR 7.50 million, detection and escalation at SAR 6.55 million, and notification costs at SAR 1.32 million. While overall breach costs have declined this year, these figures underscore the continued financial strain organizations face across the entire breach lifecycle — from discovery to containment. Certain sectors continued to face significantly high breach costs in 2025. This year, the financial sector recorded the highest total breach cost reaching SAR 34.00 million, followed closely by energy and industrial at SAR 32.00 million. 'It is encouraging to see a meaningful decline in the cost of data breaches in the Middle East this year. It is no coincidence that a region with some of the world's boldest AI ambitions is also seeing less costly breaches. As organizations accelerate the adoption of AI-driven tools for security, they are improving their ability to detect and contain threats before they escalate. But as attackers grow more sophisticated, continued investment in AI-driven security tools, security talent, and AI governance tools will be essential to sustaining this momentum,' said Saad Toma, General Manager of IBM Middle East and Africa. Other key findings in the 2025 IBM report for the Middle East include: Mitigating risks of AI model attacks – To reduce the risk of attacks on AI models, organizations in the Middle East are most commonly implementing access controls on AI systems (41%). By contrast, just 3% of breached organizations globally had such controls in place, highlighting the region's more proactive approach to securing and governing AI. AI governance adoption – 38% of surveyed organizations reported having formal AI governance policies in place, with an additional 24% starting to develop them. For those with policies in place, the most common elements include strict approval processes for AI deployments (45%), adversarial testing (44%) and the use of AI governance technology (43%). Factors that increase costs – Organizations with security system complexity incurred an average additional cost of SAR 867,378. Breaches affecting IoT or OT environments added SAR 839,750, while security staff shortages raised costs by SAR 818,997 on average. Top initial attack vectors – The most common initial causes of data breaches in 2025 were third-party vendor and supply chain compromise, which account for 17% of incidents and carried an average cost of 29.60 million. Denial of service attacks and phishing each made up 14% of breaches, with average costs of SAR 27.20 million and SAR 28.00 million respectively. Malicious insider threats, while slightly less frequent at 11%, resulted in the highest average cost at SAR 33.00 million. The 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report analyzed real-world data breaches from over 600 organizations worldwide from March 2024 through February 2025, including organizations from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored and analyzed by IBM, the Cost of a Data Breach Report has investigated nearly 6,500 data breaches over the past 20 years.

"The Mall Walk Club is a collective effort towards making healthy living more accessible to the community. We want residents to feel like their local mall is a place where wellness fits naturally into their daily lives," said Shirazul Haq Khan, mall manager, Silicon Central Mall. "Whether our customers are coming in for groceries or meeting a friend for coffee, walking a few laps before your day begins can be a simple and impactful habit. That's the kind of everyday value we aim to create here at Silicon Central Mall." With a growing focus on lifestyle retail experience, Silicon Central's Mall Walk Club marks a forward-thinking approach to the offerings from a retail space, one that blends wellness and community into the everyday customer experience. The initiative continues to build on the mall's series of health-first activations, including the successful International Yoga Day 2025 campaign earlier this summer, reinforcing Silicon Central's ongoing dedication to promoting well-being and supporting Dubai's wider vision of a more active, health-conscious society.
