Morning Shot: Why Work in Singapore Still Isn’t Built for Parents

Singapore has strengthened support for working parents in recent years, from expanded parental leave to formal requests for flexible work arrangements.  But on the ground, the burden of making things work continues to fall on families.So, what does this reveal about how workplaces are actually structured and whether policies are translating into real support? Chong Sin Hui, Assistant Professor of Organisational Behaviour and Human Resources at Nanyang Business School, joins the Breakfast Show to unpack the gap between policy and practice, the tensions teams face when caregiving needs arise, and what it would take to build workplaces where parents don’t have to choose between being present at work and at home.
