Data from Jobstreet also showed a 15-fold increase in the volume of flexible and remote job offers
SINGAPORE: As flexible work arrangements become more common, the Managing Director for Jobstreet Singapore, Chew Siew Mee, told HRM Asia that the number of Singaporeans who wish to work overseas may decrease.
Flexible work arrangements are becoming more popular, and the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices announced guidelines for this in April. Remote work has never been so accessible. It also reduced workers’ commuting hours and expenses and allowed them to work in their pyjamas all day if preferred. But what about seeking greener pastures in other nations? Is this still what many Singaporeans want?“At the moment, the percentage of global talents willing to move abroad has seen a continual decrease from 71 per cent in 2018 to 67 per cent in 2020 and 63 per cent in 2023,” said Ms Chew.
