Flexible work & Gen-Z
03 Dec 2024 | Singapore Business ReviewWORK-LIFE BALANCE DRIVES GEN-Z CAREER CHOICES. The rise of hybrid work has shifted workplace expectations, with Gen Z leading the charge in prioritising flexibility and work-life balance. According to recent discussions, organisations in Singapore are rethinking their approaches to attract and retain young talent by incorporating flexibility and hybrid work benefits as a central part of their employment offerings.
Dr Issac Lim, Founder and Chief Social Scientist at Anthro Insights, shared that this preference for hybrid work is not limited to Gen Z but is echoed across all generations. He noted that the pandemic served as a catalyst, allowing employees to experience the advantages of flexibility. Dr Lim explained that tasks requiring collaboration and mentorship are better suited for office settings, while focused or knowledge-based work often thrives in quieter, home environments. He further highlighted that hybrid models enhance productivity by matching the nature of work to the most suitable location.
