Flexibility may be the answer

Making it work: Mother-of-two Bibi Zulaikha Misbahul Munir, 31, seen here with her 10-month-old son Noah Elias Ammar, is an entrepreneur who works from home. She hopes that in time, more women will be able to juggle their full-time employment with flexible working arrangements and parenting duties.

PETALING JAYA: Flexible working arrangements (FWAs) like those introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic are here to stay, and all stakeholders must consider them to meet the needs of today’s younger generation, say employers.

FWAs and working from home (WFH) are the way forward for the future as Covid-19 has changed the way organisations are set up and operate, said Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman.
