Gan Siow Huang on 4-day work week
There are no plans for the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to trial a four-day work week or impose any such formula in the public sector. Instead, it encourages employers and employees to be open to flexible work arrangements (FWAs), of which a four-day work week is one option. Making the point in Parliament on Tuesday (Sep 13), Minister of State for Manpower Gan Siow Huang said different sectors and roles might require different types of FWAs and four-day work week pilots conducted in other countries have produced mixed results. She added that MOM is not aware of any ongoing studies by third parties to examine the feasibility of a four-day work week in Singapore. Ms Gan was responding to Parliamentary questions.
