0 Plays
10 months agoGrayling [https://grayling.com/our-offices/singapore/] has announced that it will pilot a reduced work week in its Singapore office from August till the end of the year. In doing so, it becomes the first globally networked PR firm in Singapore to attempt to raise productivity by improving employee well-being and satisfaction.
The trial will see employees who have served for more than a year take Friday afternoons off, allowing them to enjoy a longer weekend while maintaining the same level of productivity and efficiency. A core team will be on standby to manage urgent client requests.
Danny Tan and Shirley Kettler from Grayling came onto the show to share their experience on this pilot.
