Flexible work arrangements during the pandemic have contributed to worker productivity in Singapore but it has also caused workforce exhaustion so much so that 49 per cent of employees here want to resign, according to a Microsoft study released yesterday.
The desire for continued flexible remote work and leaders being out of touch with the well-being of employees were other reasons cited by the study.
