Unlocking success with flexible working arrangements
12/19/24 • 18 min
Welcome to this edition of HRadiO, the podcast by Human Resources Online (HRO) that gives you insights into the latest trends in HR & leadership. In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s at the forefront of modern workplace strategies: flexible working arrangements (FWAs).
As of 1 December 2024, employers in Singapore have been asked to comply with the Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests (TG-FWAR). The Guidelines are aimed at making it easier for employees to request for FWAs, while acknowledging that employers continue to have the prerogative to decide on work arrangements.
But for some employers, there are still questions:
- Why implement FWAs?
- What are the real benefits?
- Is the process complicated or costly?
- How do I even start?
In this episode, we speak to our special guest – Faith Li, General Manager, Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (also known as TAFEP), who will help us understand how the TG-FWAR can lead to how a more adaptable, productive, and satisfied workforce. The discussion will also explore the support systems available to help employers navigate the process with confidence.
