Pros: The hybrid model means I'm not stuck in the Singapore office five days a week, which is a big plus. We usually get 2-3 WFH days, which really helps with personal appointments and commuting during rush hour. For some of the more administrative insurance roles, there's even more flexibility.
Cons: While there's a hybrid model, the specific onsite days often aren't flexible for us Underwriters. You can't just pick and choose your 2 days in the office, it's pretty fixed by team. There's also not much option for fully remote work, even for non-client facing policy processing tasks.
Advice to Management: Management should look into offering more flexibility for fixed office days, maybe allow teams to rotate or have more autonomy. Consider enabling fully remote options for certain roles within the insurance industry that don't require constant in-person collaboration.
