In a move to encourage flexible work arrangements, the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) is inviting organisations to collaborate and come up with solutions for employees to work from home.
This is to ensure that home-based employees have a professional work environment to be productive. An alternative option is to enable employees to work at Smart Work Centres that will provide a professional work environment near homes
Such an initiative is aimed at attracting non-working people in the prime working age of 25-54 back to the workforce as a recent survey revealed that many cite family commitments as the main reason for not working.
Currently, the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (Next Gen NBN) is making flexible work arrangements easier by supporting high quality video conferencing and cloud computing.
However, IDA’s assistant CEO Khoong Hock Yun noted that having the right infocomm infrastructure was not enough.
“We still need to have processes in place and a mindset change to encourage the adoption of home-based work and Smart Work Centres,” he explained.
