said Minister of State for Manpower Gan Siow Huang on Tuesday .
In 2020, three in four employees worked in firms that provided some form of remote working, she added. Legislation may not be the best solution, Ms Gan said. Instead, MOM's focus is to guide employers and staff and provide the resources to help them implement work-from-home and flexible work arrangements in a practical and sustained manner.The number of companies that have adopted this standard covers one in four employees in workplaces, Ms Gan added, in response to additional questions from labour MP Melvin Yong .
Last year, the Alliance for Action on Work-Life Harmony was formed and it created three groups for food services, manufacturing and finance to exchange best practices and develop resources suited to sectoral needs. There is also an advisory on mental well-being, to guide employers in setting reasonable expectations of after-hours work communications, for instance.
