Emirates NBD Offers Employees Hybrid Work With Letswork Collaboration
Emirates NBD employees will be able to use 4,000 coworking Letswork desks, meeting rooms and offices across the UAE and beyond, giving them an opportunity to work closer to home.
Letswork is one of the leading flexible workspace providers in the region.
Following an agreement between the two companies, select Emirates NBD employees will join a 12-month pilot programme to experience on-demand workspaces through Letswork’s intuitive platform, with the potential for wider rollout across the bank.
By leveraging Letswork’s secure and flexible platform, employees can book meeting rooms, coworking spaces and private offices instantly across over 100 hubs in Dubai, and more than 25 hubs in Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates, apart from international locations.
Letswork recently participated in Emirates NBD’s National Digital Talent Incubator (NDTI) Program, where early conversations between the bank and startup laid the foundation for this engagement.
Eman Abdulrazzaq, Group Chief Operating Officer at Emirates NBD, commented: “We are pleased to collaborate with Letswork to provide our employees with a scalable platform to address evolving workplace expectations and strengthen our employee value proposition.
“As a socially responsible bank, this pilot demonstrates Emirates NBD’s commitment to becoming a future-focused bank by fostering a culture of innovation and establishing the Group as an employer of choice through future-ready human resources practices.”
Emirates NBD adopts flexible coworking spaces
The collaboration allows for greater flexibility and convenience when travelling for meetings in Abu Dhabi, with easy access to high-quality working and meeting spaces. It offers a more streamlined and efficient way to book external workshops and meeting spaces across the UAE.
Additionally, Letswork’s network of coworking hubs gives employees based in the outskirts of Dubai and the Northern Emirates to work closer to home thereby reducing commuting time and improving work-life balance.
Miguel Rio-Tinto, Group Chief Digital and Information Officer at Emirates NBD, commented: “As flexible working schedules become a norm, Emirates NBD is excited to collaborate with promising innovators like Letswork who are revolutionising traditional working environments.
“This pilot allows us to explore how scalable digital workplace solutions can enhance agility and flexibility for our teams. It also underscores the impact of our National Digital Talent Incubator in driving partnerships that bring future-ready technology solutions into the Group.”
Hamza Khan, Co-Founder and CEO of Letswork, added: “We are proud to partner with Emirates NBD, a forward-thinking institution that recognises how the future of work demands flexibility, data and employee-first experiences.
“This partnership is a milestone moment, not just for us at Letswork, but for the region. It is a signal that the UAE’s largest institutions are embracing hybrid work in a scalable and sustainable way.”
Emirates NBD is a leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa and Türkiye region with a presence in 13 countries, serving over nine million active customers. The Group has a total of 797 branches.
