To secure his 500 colleagues' jobs, this CEO is making them developers. Bonus segment: What could the Dragon Year bring you?! Synopsis: Every first Monday of the month, listen to the Work Talk podcast to help you work smarter, think deeper and get ahead in your work life. Vital is the Singapore public service’s central agency for corporate shared services entrusted with managing and transforming corporate services delivery for the government. For years, Vital had been humming in the background, paying out the salaries and expense claims of more than 100,000 public servants in Singapore.  No one paid it much attention, as its 500 workers chugged along, cutting, pasting, reconciling spreadsheets. Much of their work was laborious, tedious, and honestly, could have been done by machines. Four years ago, something happened. The agency got a new chief, a new dream, and for its 500 workers - a new aspiration to become citizen developers.  In this episode of Work Talk, ST senior correspondent Krist Boo takes you into Vital to meet Mr Dennis Lui, its chief executive and hear how employees are automating their own work processes.  And in a bonus podcast segment - with Chinese New Year days away - hear what the 2024 Dragon Year could bring you, from Master Ken Koh from The House of Feng Shui. Highlights (click/tap above): 2:26 Vital's existential crisis; finding the right partner to customise its courses for retraining 5:18 Validation boost: In 2020, the government gives it the mandate to transform corporate services delivery 6:28 The elephant in the room: Addressing fears of automation, advice for employers in similar situations 8:59 Join us at a work station in Vital's office to hear about a citizen developer's work  10:38 Bonus segment: How will your dragon year be?  Produced by: Krist Boo (kristb@sph.com.sg), Ernest Luis, Teo Tong Kai and Amirul Karim Edited by: Teo Tong Kai Follow ST's Your Money & Career Podcast channel here: Channel: https://str.sg/wB2m Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/wuN3 Spotify: https://str.sg/wBr9 SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg/ Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg Read Krist Boo's Work Talk columns: https://str.sg/wB2P Get business/career tips in ST's HeadSTart newsletter: https://str.sg/headstart-nl --- Discover more ST podcast channels: In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7 Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN Green Pulse: https://str.sg/JWaf Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m ST Sports Talk: https://str.sg/JWRE #PopVultures: https://str.sg/JWad Music Lab: https://str.sg/w9TX Discover ST Podcasts: http://str.sg/stpodcasts -- Special edition series: True Crimes Of Asia (6 eps): https://str.sg/i44T The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuZ2 Invisible Asia (9 eps): https://str.sg/wuZn Stop Scams (10 eps): https://str.sg/wuZB Singapore's War On Covid (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuJa --- Follow our shows then, if you like short, practical podcasts! #moneycareer

We just have to keep going and going.”  That was Assistant Professor Chong Sin Hui, an organisational psychologist who teaches at the Nanyang Technological University.

Could “return to office” save workplace toxicity? Synopsis: Every first Monday of the month, the Work Talk podcast helps you work smarter, think deeper and get ahead in your work life. “There are elements of working hybrid that can easily lead to situations that become toxic. And that is one of the things that we want to recognise, so we can recognise when those are happening and cut them off,” says associate professor Mark Mortensen, of organisational behaviour at Insead university. If you are reading this on the way to the office, or at your workplace, you may be one of those who wonder why you have been summoned back to the office. About 79 per cent of Singapore workers are showing up on mandated days, more than the global average of 75 per cent, says a report by workplace strategy and design firm Unispace. In this episode, ST's senior correspondent Krist Boo hosts Prof Mortensen, who cautions that long-term hybrid work could lead to workplace toxicity. Joining the podcast too, is Ms Yoshi Kakimoto, head of talent acquisition at Informa, and Mr Mark Ng, the social content lead at employment portal JobStreet.  They round up hybrid work from the perspectives of business, HR and Gen Z, and also  question if the downsides of seeing too much of one’s colleagues might justify working from home. Highlights (click/tap above): 5:29 Do companies offering hybrid work have an edge in hiring?  8:25 Why doesn’t anyone talk about the downsides of Return To Office? 12:07 How could bosses resolve the discord over the number of remote days?  14:21 Is an equilibrium in sight? 16:39 How do young people find mentorship in a hybrid world?      Produced by: Krist Boo (kristb@sph.com.sg), Ernest Luis, Teo Tong Kai and Hadyu Rahim Edited by: Teo Tong Kai Follow ST's Your Money & Career Podcast channel here: Channel: https://str.sg/wB2m Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/wuN3 Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/ioWR Spotify: https://str.sg/wBr9 SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg/ Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg Read Krist Boo's Work Talk columns: https://str.sg/wB2P Get business/career tips in ST's HeadSTart newsletter: https://str.sg/headstart-nl --- Discover more ST podcast channels: In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7 Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN Green Pulse: https://str.sg/JWaf Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m ST Sports Talk: https://str.sg/JWRE #PopVultures: https://str.sg/JWad Music Lab: https://str.sg/w9TX Discover ST Podcasts: http://str.sg/stpodcasts -- Special edition series: True Crimes Of Asia (new): https://str.sg/i44T The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuZ2 Invisible Asia (9 eps): https://str.sg/wuZn Stop Scams (10 eps): https://str.sg/wuZB Singapore's War On Covid (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuJa --- Follow our shows then, if you like short, practical podcasts! #moneycareer

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get our tips on working smarter, getting ahead in your career and investing like a pro with ST's business correspondents and editors. Host Krist Boo discusses happiness at work in this episode of Work Talk, a podcast to help you work smarter, think deeper and get ahead in your work life. In the workplace, 80 per cent of workers say "yes" when asked if they enjoy their work, says Gallup chief executive, Mr Jon Clifton. But ask about their relationships with co-workers and their boss, and they start getting miserable. Can managers do anything that will make our lives less unhappy in 2023?  After a motorbike accident in Cambodia eight years ago, Mr Jason Lim spent 40 days in a coma. He was 24. The doctor had his death certificate prepared. How would an experience like this change your view of happiness?     His colleague at SGTech - marketing manager Ms Low Rui Yin - says she's always harried, annoyed, and wanting to be better, quicker, perfect. But this year, maybe the status quo is enough.  Join Krist Boo's conversation with Mr Lim, Ms Low and Mr Clifton. After all, it is tradition to start each year by throwing everything we can at happiness, just to raise the odds of being happy for the rest of the year, isn't it? Here's to a happy New Year for you. Highlights (click/tap above): 0:06 The accident  1:39 The kancheong, or harried and excitable, Singaporean  2:23 Singapore, the emotionless society 8:53 The premature death certificate  10:30 Happiness and sadness Read more: https://str.sg/wyhe Produced by: Krist Boo (kristb@sph.com.sg), Ernest Luis, Teo Tong Kai Edited by: Teo Tong Kai Follow ST's new Your Money & Career Podcast channel here: Channel: https://str.sg/wB2m Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/wuN3 Spotify: https://str.sg/wBr9 Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/wVpX SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg/ Read Krist Boo's Column: https://str.sg/wB2P Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg --- Discover more ST podcast channels: In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7 Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN Green Pulse: https://str.sg/JWaf Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m ST Sports Talk: https://str.sg/JWRE #PopVultures: https://str.sg/JWad Music Lab: https://str.sg/w9TX Discover ST Podcasts: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Discover BT Podcasts: https://bt.sg/pcPL --- Special edition series: The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuZ2 Invisible Asia (9 eps): https://str.sg/wuZn Stop Scams (10 eps): https://str.sg/wuZB Singapore's War On Covid (5 eps): https://str.sg/wuJa --- Follow our shows then, if you like short, practical podcasts! #moneycareer

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get our tips on working smarter, getting ahead in your career and investing like a pro with ST's business correspondents and editors. Last week, I wore a back-plunging, tomato-coloured ball gown to the office. My boss asked if I had omelette for breakfast. He's so CUTE. If that's you talking, my friend, you have a problem. Maybe more than one...but you have a crush on your boss.  In this very fun episode of Work Talk, host Krist Boo bats around reasons for workers who idealise their bosses. We ask if it is more likely to happen to male leaders, and if younger workers are more likely to fall into the abyss of infatuation. Her guests are O-Psych CEO and psychologist Hetal Doshi, and Ms Low Rui Yin, a millennial marketing manager at SGTech.   We promise that you'll never look at the boss the same way again.  Highlights (click/tap above): 1:39 Why are leaders natural magnets? 2:16 How do you draw the line before love?  6:05 Are women bosses less attractive? 8:12 Do younger workers expect bosses to be friends?   10:20 Should you make your boss love you?

Without the politics, 2022 was meant to be the "first-out-the-gate" year when local enterprises ride on Singapore's early reopening after the pandemic to exploit new markets and opportunities. Unexpectedly, local firms now confront new anxieties about a trade war and trade protectionism as the Russian-Ukraine war, US-China rivalry and tensions over Taiwan create new uncertainties.

Seventy companies in Britain are now trying out a shorter work week. It is a six-month trial started by a non-profit community called 4 Day Week Global. The four-day week movement aims to raise business productivity, improve workers’ health, and build stronger social and family ties.

Will Singapore workers see the four-day work week happen sometime?

ST's journalists Krist Boo and Tay Hong Yi host public relations executive Ng Lay Peng, and workplace strategy consultant Hardeep Matharu.  Ms Ng is a self-professed job hopper who has had 10 jobs in the past 10 years, and Mr Hardeep is her boss. They are also joined by Ms Lim Zi Hui, a manager from recruitment firm Michael Page, who offers tips to executives with "choppy" resumes, such as Ms Ng. Highlights (click/tap above): 1:58 Is the rising trend of job hopping here to stay? 3:03 Is it possible to build culture and loyalty among this transient group of workers? 7:25 Are "lifers" who never quit being shortchanged by bosses? 12:45 How should a job hopper go about getting that interview, and then, that job?   19:10 Does it pay to move, or stay?

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get our tips on working smarter, getting ahead in your career and investing like a pro with ST's business correspondents and editors. More than half of Singapore employees may quit their jobs this year if expectations of pay rise, career development, flexibility and more are not met, show surveys.  At the same time, economic numbers show that employers are facing spiraling prices, supply chain difficulties and fears of a global recession - while struggling to hire and keep workers in the tight labour market. The battle of many jobs and few talents is especially tough for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which hire 70 per cent of the local workforce.    In this episode, ST's journalists Krist Boo and Tay Hong Yi host Mr Kurt Wee and Mr Donavan Cheah to talk about what workers expect, what bosses want - and the opportunities one could get from working at a SME.  Mr Wee is the president of the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises. Mr Cheah is a cybersecurity executive and the founder of podcast Very Clear Cut. Highlights (click/tap above): 04:23 Young professionals tend to think there are more opportunities "outside" and want to make bigger impact 07:43 SMEs offer young workers hands-on work and experience of initial growth 15:00 It is a partnership, but employees also have a right to ask for career progression 19:18 When will the job market stabilise? 25:32 What can an employer do to be exciting enough for an employee to commit five years?
