SINGAPORE — Could a four-day work week be the new norm? Nearly a third of Singapore workers (32 per cent) surveyed expect that to be the case in the next five years, a new poll has found.
Employers who rolled out a shorter work week for their staff members said such a practice has helped to boost talent retention, business performance, employees’ focus and their energy levels at work. Currently, about 40 per cent of the firm’s employees qualify for the four-day work week arrangement, he added.
