Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 1: Melvin Yong on support for Public Service officers

01:58 Min

Would the Public Service hire Singaporean digital nomads based overseas, or let its officers go on a year-long “workcation”? MP Melvin Yong posed these questions in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 2), citing emerging global workforce trends. He asked about plans to support and nurture Public Service officers in a period of "significant global shifts", and to ensure their long-term employability. Mr Yong also wanted to know if an "unusual" rise in attrition in the Public Service ranks might be due to stress and if so, what is being done to alleviate burnout.
