The DGHR did not specify which entities will be part of the pilot scheme, but explained
it aims to “enhance workplace flexibility”. It offers safety at the workplace during the
summer and ensures better work-life balance, it added.
The department had conducted a survey to assess the willingness of government agencies
to reduce working hours during the summer. The initiative will also help reduce energy
consumption within government departments. “The proposal garnered exceptional
support through the survey, highlighting an openness to welcoming changes that will
promote the work-life balance and well-being of employees.”
