SINGAPORE – South-east Asia’s largest bank, DBS, will introduce a formal job-sharing scheme to support employees who need more flexible work arrangements, among other initiatives aimed at transforming the way its staff work in a post-pandemic world.

Two employees will share the responsibilities of one full-time role under the scheme, which builds on the bank’s ability to operate successfully in split teams over the past few months, said DBS on Tuesday (Nov 17).

Staff under the scheme will retain all existing medical benefits in full and continue to be covered under the bank’s insurance plans.
