Hi there, Sue-Ann here!
Getting older often means more responsibilities, whether it is getting the afternoon off to visit a parent in the hospital or having the flexibility to work from home on days the plumber or the air-con serviceman visits.
Growing demands on our time and more responsibilities may mean that for many of us, the need for flexible working arrangements may be more pressing now than ever. Last week, a new set of guidelines were released to help ensure that employers fairly consider such needs. My colleague Tay Hong Yi dived deeper into the types of arrangements available to find out what employers must now consider.
This week, I also wanted to look a bit deeper to see how AI can also help us be super-charged, and help increase productivity so we can have more time to do more value-add work. Speaking of AI, you can watch me face-off against an AI bot to find out if the technology can really replace humans.
What types of flexible work arrangements would be most helpful to you? Tell me more at headstart@sph.com.sg
