As an employer sending people to Dubai, there are many things to consider, and all of them could be vitally important to the managers moving there.
The cost of living in Dubai is very high, so the compensation packages will have to be renegotiated to keep the employees happy, and at the same relative wealth level enjoyed in the United States.
Internet can be restricted, with some tools (such as Skype) disabled across normal internet plans. Using a VPN will be vital to be able to communicate freely with the company and even keeping tabs on things back home.
You'll need to get a permit to work in Dubai, and keep it up to date. If you lose your job, you'll have only a month to find a new job, sponsor, and get everything legal again.
Because Dubai is a Muslim country, the laws are built around the religion of Islam, which may be more restrictive than you're used to. You'll need to dress conservatively, and follow the customs as well as possible. During Ramadan, while expats are allowed to eat during daylight hours, they should avoid doing so in front of others.
