$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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
