NUS adopts five-day work-from-office policy for all full-time staff

The policy took effect on 1 October, marking a shift from its previous hybrid work model.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) has rolled out a five-day work-from-office policy for all full-time staff members, the university confirmed on Thursday (2 October).

An NUS spokesperson told CNA that staff from "central administration units" resumed working on campus five days a week from 1 September. The arrangement was later extended to all other staff from 1 October.

CNA reported that NUS had previously operated under a four-day work-from-office, one-day work-from-home policy introduced in late 2023.

Per the report, the university cited Ministry of Manpower data showing that nearly 70% of companies in Singapore did not offer scheduled teleworking arrangements in 2023.

To this point, the spokesperson was quoted as saying that NUS also recognises the value of in-person interactions at work.

"NUS still offers flexible work arrangements, which can be designed for specific job roles," they were quoted as saying.

Human Resources Online has reached out to NUS for comments and will update this article once a response is received.
