COVID-19 Series: Flexible-Work-Arrangement (FWA) or Agile Working Model

10 May 2020, Singapore: When COVID-19 came knocking on Singapore's door, we heard a lot about "Work From Home" (aka WFH) - for those who are not in the HR professional, you may not realize that the Singapore Government via MOM (Ministry of Manpower) and TAFEP (Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practice) has been promoting and encouraging Singapore based companies to adopt and embrace "Flexible Work Arrangement" (aka FWA) as part of Singapore strategies to attract and retain talents. It has evolved into a component of Business Continuity Plan (BCP).

WFH is one of the component of FWA. This short article will focus on sharing what is FWA in Singapore context and help reader to find-out where to obtain resources on FWA.
