As we power up to live to 100, how are employees in Singapore using digital technology at work to improve their health and and work-life integration?
The pandemic has been a catalyst for employees to reassess their current jobs and future careers.1 Why? Working from home became the new norm overnight and the boundaries between our personal and professional lives blurred. With long working hours, many Singaporeans felt increasingly stressed and overwhelmed.
Now they are looking at how work fits into their personal schedule and are aiming to strike the perfect balance between the two.
