$100m work-life harmony fund to be rolled out

More bosses urged to enforce flexi-job.

According to the Ministry of Manpower, a fund of $100m will be committed to Work-Life Grant to encourage more employers to implement flexible work arrangements.

Employers with no or minimal flexible work arrangements can receive a grant of up to $40,000 to implement these strategies, double the amount that the WoW! (Work-Life Works!) Fund provided.

"Employers with flexible work arrangements can apply for additional financial incentives of up to $120,000 over 3 years, or up to $40,000 per year, if at least 30% of their employees benefit from flexible work arrangements," it said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
