Have you wondered how flexible work arrangements can apply to employees whose jobs require them to be in the office? Take the example of Ms Priya, a senior nurse. She benefits from flexi-time arrangements, which allow her to fulfil her work and family responsibilities. There are other types of flexible work arrangements, like flexi-load or flexi-shift, which can apply to employees who are not able to telecommute or work from home. A little flexibility goes a long way! For more on other FWA options: go.gov.sg/fwa

#DidYouKnow that employment outcomes for persons with disabilities have improved over the past four years? More of them are now employed, with about 80% of them in full-time jobs, and their median income has almost doubled. ✅ We will continue to do more to ensure no worker is left behind. 💪🏼
[Building a More Inclusive Singapore Together] Singapore has come a long way in creating a more disability-inclusive society. Our first Disability Trends Report shows that we have improved employment opportunities, enhanced quality of life, and added more inclusive public spaces so that persons with disabilities in our community can thrive and participate meaningfully in society. This progress is something to celebrate. There are still areas for improvement. For example, we want to see more positive shifts in public attitudes toward persons with disabilities, especially in the workplace and for those with less visible disabilities. Disability inclusion is a journey all of us can be a part of. ✨ As individuals, let’s learn how to better interact with and support persons with disabilities. ✨ As employers, let’s create workplaces that are inclusive, accessible, and empowering. ✨ As a community, let’s ensure everyone has a chance to thrive and contribute meaningfully.

📢 Highlights from the roundtable by TAFEP with The Straits Times: - The Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement (FWA) Requests took effect on 1 December 2024, setting norms for how employees should request and use FWAs responsibly. - Employers should consider requests based on business grounds. - Trust and two-way communication are crucial for the successful implementation of FWAs. 🤝
Did you know that the Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement Requests took effect on 1 Dec 24? On 19 Nov 24, TAFEP General Manager, Ms Faith Li, took part in a Roundtable moderated by The Straits Times, together with representatives from Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP), Association of Small & Medium Enterprises, and Royal Plaza on Scotts. The panellists had a lively discussion about how the Guidelines and FWAs affect employers, employees and HR professionals. Ms Li explained that work-from-home is not the only type of FWA, and that FWAs are broadly categorised into flexi-place, flexi-time and flexi-load. Ms Li added that the Guidelines set the norms and expectations on how employees should request and use FWAs responsibly, and how employers should properly consider and respond to FWA requests. She highlighted that this does not mean that employers have to agree to all FWA requests, but employers have to consider such requests properly, and provide reasons based on business grounds if they are rejecting such requests. Employees should also be reasonable in requesting for and using FWAs. This includes following their employer’s process for FWA requests and considering the impact of the FWAs on their workload, performance, co-workers and clients. Companies that can design flexibility into their work arrangements will be better positioned to retain valued and experienced employees that may have otherwise left the organisation because perhaps they could not find a way to manage their caregiving responsibilities. In addition, Ms Li emphasised the importance of trust and communication between the employer and the employee. “There should be trust and two-way communication between the employer and employee when it comes to flexi-work requests. And in that way, that’s how successful and sustainable FWAs can be implemented in an organisation,” said Ms Li. #tafepsg #flexibleworkarrangements #tripartiteguidelines
