Standard Chartered Bank Brunei has launched and rolled out its innovative hybrid working programme Future Workplace Now (FWN) for its employees.
The programme allows employees to select their preferred working patterns for a better work-life balance experience.
The FWN programme is designed and launched to support an effective and sustainable workplace of the future for its employees.
The forward-looking mindset in delivering the hybrid working approach enables greater flexibility in terms of work hours and locations, that is not only suitable to employers but also the bank’s employees.
FWN introduces a new and long-term solution of flexible working and redesigns work and the workplace for the future.
Standard Chartered Bank Brunei’s Head of Human Resources Laila Li said: “This is an organisational cultural change. We believe that hybrid working will empower us to rethink productivity and employee experience.
“Leaders must lead the way in connecting employees in the new work environment to deliver our promise to our clients and community, while ensuring the well-being of our people, making the bank a great place to work.”
Standard Chartered Bank Brunei Chief Executive Officer Pengiran Aki Ismasufian bin Pengiran Haji Ibrahim added: “At Standard Chartered, we believe in innovative solutions to the way we work which bring benefits for our clients and our colleagues.
“Happy employees lead to better productivity and well-being which in turn will build up organisation resilience while offering a differentiated employee experience.”
The FWN programme has been positively received by the bank’s employees. Aside from choosing flexible working locations, eligible employees will also be granted allowance to enhance their work-from-home set-up.
Standard Chartered strives to make the bank a great place to work by engaging employees through a wide range of programmes and guided by four pillars, focussing on mental well-being, physical well-being, social well-being and financial well-being, it said in a statement.
