Singapore is stepping up support for working parents, with more childcare leave among the measures announced at National Day Rally 2026.

But could greater support for families create new challenges for employers, particularly SMEs with lean teams? And could there be unintended consequences for parents and colleagues without children?

We speak to Michelle Koh, Managing Director, The Edge Partnership and Tan Boon May, founder of Maythematics Tuition Centre, about how workplaces can make pro-family policies work fairly for everyone.

Join Neil Humphreys & Audrey Siek - LIVE every Monday, Wednesday & Friday at 7.20am for Talk of the Town!
