This includes ensuring belonging and what it really is in a world where the remote working genie is out of the bottle.
Here in Singapore, government efforts have multiplied tenfold to support its citizens and businesses — from financial support schemes to tax rebates and SGUnited Jobs and Skills Packages.
It is more important than ever for governments, private sectors, and individuals to re-evaluate what it means to belong to a community, and what one can do about it.
What does belonging in a time of isolation, fear and mistrust really mean? In an age of transience, globalization and radical change, how does one find their roots? In a bid to include diversity, representation and ethical hiring practices, how does one know that they truly belong?
