The convenience and absolute joy of getting out of bed at 8:50am to attend 9am Zoom meetings at your dining table, dressed in an office shirt and sport shorts, is sadly coming to an end.
In a recent announcement made by Lawrence Wong, co-chair of the Covid-19 multi-ministry task force, working from home will no longer be the default mode (sigh!). Instead, a hybrid version that encourages a mix of working from home and office will be.
From April 5, 2021, 75 per cent of the employees can return to the office at any one time, on the condition that safe distancing guidelines are met. In addition, restrictions to the amount of time employees are allowed in the office and mandatory split-team arrangements are also lifted.

SINGAPORE - Even with Singapore s visitor arrivals plummeting to the lowest in about four decades due to the Covid-19 pandemic, hotels have remained resilient, taking on new roles and catering to new demands.
Operating as venues for those serving stay-home notice (SHN), offering staycations and work-from-hotel packages, and redeploying staff to other roles were some of the ways hotels adapted to adversity, said Minister of State for Trade and Industry Alvin Tan on Wednesday (March 10).
As at the end of last year, more than 70 hotels had welcomed over 160,000 guests serving SHN, with the support of over 2,300 workers in the hotel industry, he added.
