Parents’ Rights in the Workplace

Parents Day was celebrated earlier this month, but is there enough being done to support and empower parents in the workplace? The Ministry of Human Resources has proposed amendments to the Employment Act, which includes new rights for parents. Tan May Lee, from the Women’s Aid Organization and Derek Toh, the founder of WOBB joins us on the show today to unpack this and discuss parental discrimination at the workplace.
