Eradicate bad workplace habits to improve worklife balance
®Copyright MediaCorp
Acting Manpower Minister Tan Chuan Jin says he wants to improve work practices in companies to try to resolve the problem of work-life balance.
He was speaking at his Ministry's National Day Observance Ceremony.
Mr Tan said improving worklife balance will come with more meaningful work, and not a lighter workload.
"We all know that we work many hours in Singapore, and that's something that we ought to look at - whether we can be more efficient in the way we work, to work smart. Personally, I think there are a lot of poor work habits, so we end up actually working longer than we need to. But, those are things that we can eradicate. Volume of work is one part."
