The pandemic shift
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit us pretty badly, and almost everything has been pushed into online platforms - from work-based collaborations to even events.
Now, Work-from-home (WFH) is a term we see ever so often now, with the majority of workplaces having to cut down on potential face-to-face interactions between employees so as to ease the curve of COVID-19 cases in the country. With that, how do the citizens generally feel about the implementations of WFH, and what are the productivity and efficiency statistics that would push or deter against the continuity of WFH even after the pandemic situation takes a dip. The video by CNA Insider uncovers this.
The ongoing pandemic has definitely done its due damage to Singaporeans, which is supported by a study done by Milieu.

What has the government been doing?
Beneficiaries, grants & support schemes!
The Singapore government has definitely done their part in putting their resources and funds into aiding the necessary parties wherever required. Some from the long list would include the COVID-19 Recovery Grant (CRG), The Courage Fund (TCF) and the different beneficiary groups, and many more. Check the list below to see if you are applicable for any!
What should Singaporeans be doing?
Upskilling, reskilling, and adapting.
The working demographics in Singapore would probably have heard of more and more companies being shut down. Even big corporations like the great Singapore Airlines are cutting down on staff, so as to save their resources. So, now what?
Let us first discover the skills that are in demand, especially within the current technologically driven workspace.
