SINGAPORE: When Ms Rashidah Mohamed Sadik noticed that her daughter was struggling with her studies nearly two years ago, she contemplated quitting her job so she could spend more time with her eldest child.
With support from her supervisors, she decided to continue with the job sharing arrangement for another year.“This arrangement really worked for me my family,” said Ms Rashidah, who returned to full-time work at the start of 2019. During the two years where she was offered more flexibility at work, Ms Sng also got to bond with her child.EY is among the few companies in Singapore that offer job sharing, an arrangement in which two or more people share the responsibilities of a full-time job, according to Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Manpower Low Yen Ling during a visit to the professional services firm on Friday .
Speaking during the launch of the guide on Friday, Ms Low said research has shown that job sharing can increase employee productivity by up to 30 per cent and help cut hiring costs for companies by about 20 per cent. It can also help businesses to widen their talent pool. “Flexible work arrangements, like job-sharing, can create an enabling environment to empower employees to achieve and balance their family goals,” said Ms Low.It is also a boon for employers, she added.
