Money Week 2012 Episode 51Video by:Description: Will Straits Times Index Break Through in Second Quarter? The Straits Times Index has risen over 3% since the beginning of this year. While it performs better than the Hang Seng Index, it is far behind the US and Japan stock markets, and neighbouring countries like Indonesia and Thailand as well. What are the reasons behind this? As the Cyprus crisis sees temporal resolution, the US economy gets on its recovery path, and China’s economy being expected to pick up under the new leadership, will the Singapore stock market achieve a better performance in the second quarter? Which are the sectors to watch? Achieving Work-Life Balance? The Ministry of Manpower has combined the existing three work-life schemes into one, assisting enterprises on pro-family job arrangements and job scope redesigning to encourage employers to hire more Singaporeans. In the sport light: a cable laying company offers its employees pleasure-crafts benefits during weekends, and the flexibility for parents to bring their children along to work on weekdays; a hotelier that observes 5-days work weeks. How do these steps to improve work-life balance by these companies sharpen their competitive edge?Rating:Views: 896 -
