SMU Dean of Students and Professor of Sociology (Practice) Paulin Straughan shared her views on whether employees and companies in Singapore are ready to adopt the hybrid model of working some days at home and some days in the office. She discussed a Straits Times online poll which revealed that three in four people who are currently working from home do not wish to return to the workplace. Almost half of those who preferred working from home said they wanted do so to save time and money by not commuting and eating out.
