SINGAPORE: Workers have identified overloading of work and high-pressure deadlines
as the main reasons for not being able to achieve work-life balance in
Singapore.
A recent survey on work-life
balance in Singapore found that nearly nine out of 10 workers surveyed worked
beyond their official hours.
Beyond working hours, 70 per cent
chose to complete unfinished work in the office while the remaining 30 per cent
chose to bring work home.
The survey by recruiter
Jobstreet.com also found that only 30 per cent of the respondents claimed that
their companies had initiatives in place to promote work-life balance.
45 per cent indicated that their
companies pay lip service to work-life balance with policies in place just for
show.
Respondents suggested corporate
tax relief and enforcement of policies as steps that the government can take to
encourage more companies to promote work-life balance at the workplace.
About 650 workers and 135
employers participated in the survey that was conducted in September.
