As the Covid-19 situation in Singapore and globally continues to evolve, workplace restrictions and arrangements have to be revised accordingly to curb the spread of the virus.

While they look forward to in-person social interaction and greater collaboration with colleagues, they have tasted the benefits of remote working, including greater autonomy and work-life balance.
