At Sony Singapore, some teams have an unspoken culture to stop work when office hours end.

It is the time after which no employee should send or reply to work-related communications, and everyone is encouraged to take a break or go for a workout.

“These initiatives are meant to provide employees with more personal or family time,” he says. “But more importantly, they reduce the ‘fear of missing out’ experienced by employees when they are not present at work.” According to the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices , work-life harmony refers to a state where an individual is able to achieve both professional and personal goals. This is especially important as the distinction between employees’ work and personal lives becomes increasingly blurred.

Last year, he signed up as a Work-Life Ambassador under Tafep to share his experiences and inspire other business leaders to pave the way for greater work-life harmony in their own companies. “There would also be greater cost savings as a result of lower absenteeism, reduced turnover and correspondingly, lower recruitment costs. Employers will also set themselves apart from their competitors, enhance their employee value proposition, and be able to better attract and retain their talent,” she adds.
