SINGAPORE: About two in five workers in Singapore said in a survey that they would not accept a job if they are unable to work from home or if the job does not afford flexible work hours.
The bi-annual survey conducted by Randstad, a human resources solutions agency, involved 1,000 locally-based respondents aged between 18 and 67 years old and was conducted between February to March this year.
In the results released on Monday (Aug 15), 42 per cent of respondents indicated that they would not accept a job if they are unable to work from home, with more than three in four (77 per cent) respondents saying they value the importance of remote work.
Only 52 per cent reported that their employers provided them remote working options.
The Randstad survey also found that 41 per cent of respondents said that they would not accept a job if they did not have flexible work hours.
