A <strong>Work</strong>-Life Strategy Handbook 13<br />
There is a wide spectrum <strong>of</strong> <strong>Work</strong>-Life programmes available and these can be classified<br />
into 3 broad groups:<br />
1. Flexible <strong>Work</strong> Arrangements (FWAs)<br />
FWAs refer to any work arrangement that allows employees to work flexibly rather<br />
than the standard ‘9-to-5’ schedule in the <strong>of</strong>fice, and yet be equally effective. This<br />
may take the form <strong>of</strong> working a different number <strong>of</strong> hours or days, or even working<br />
from different locations, amongst other flexible options.<br />
2. Enhanced Leave Benefits<br />
These are leave benefits above the statutory norms that help employees to deal<br />
with personal and family exigencies.<br />
3. Employee Support Schemes (ESS)<br />
ESS encompasses all other schemes that help employees better manage both<br />
career and personal demands so that they can perform better at work.<br />
A comprehensive listing <strong>of</strong> the various <strong>Work</strong>-Life programmes by life stage can be found<br />
