A new tripartite standard was launched yesterday, with several recommendations to give work-life harmony a boost here.
Employers were urged to make available schemes to support their workers, from family days and subsidised health screening to staff recreation areas, to further promote work-life balance at the workplace.
Arrangements to suit those with caregiving responsibilities, such as allowing them to telecommute, offering additional leave or having staggered times for starting and finishing work, were also encouraged.
The Tripartite Standard on Work-Life Harmony was developed by the Ministry of Manpower, National Trades Union Congress and Singapore Natio-nal Employers Federation (SNEF), in response to recommendations by the Citizens Panel on Work-Life Harmony.

Responding to a query from
Human Resources Online, a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) spokesperson shared that the two most common violations of SMM since they were implemented were:
Companies having employees reporting to the workplace despite them being able to perform their work from home.
Failing to put clear safe distancing markers at areas in the workplace where employees might gather.
