Managing a cross-border workforce

Gain insights on how companies can approach the post-COVID-19 work transformation to a “remote ready” workforce.

For most organizations, the COVID-19 pandemic changed decades of business-as-usual practices, where workers reported to an office, participated in meetings and went about prescribed routines to get the job done. Post-COVID-19 pandemic, these practices have changed, and hybrid and flexible working conditions are here to stay.

Based on the insights from the EY 2022 Work Reimagined Survey, 90% of employees in Singapore surveyed want to work at least two days remotely per week. The percentage of people who are reluctant to work remotely also fell from 34% in 2021 to 20% in 2022.

It is imperative that employers understand what the workforce values most.

And if an organization allows remote working or “work from anywhere”, whether institutionalized via a policy or in an ad-hoc manner, it needs to consider a holistic framework to address various tax, statutory and regulatory matters, as well as administrative risks and requirements. It is crucial for all stakeholders to come together to assess what works best for the organization in managing a cross-border workforce.
