SINGAPORE: More measures to encourage companies to adopt flexible work arrangements are in the pipeline, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Manpower Low Yen Ling on Tuesday .
MOM will also introduce new tripartite standards on FWAs and work-life harmony to recognise"employers who are committed to work-life harmony", she said. In particular, they said that the Government should make parental care leave and flexible work arrangements mandatory. “Almost half of our informal caregivers to seniors do not work at other jobs often because of the unpaid caregiving responsibilities that they have taken on to their own financial detriment, and to their own reduced retirement adequacy,” he said.
Mr Ng, who noted that all civil servants have access to parent care leave, said: “We are a family-friendly employer, and now we need to be a family-friendly Government”. For one, employers might refuse to consider hiring jobseekers who are likely to exercise their rights, such as parents and seniors.
