Why flexible work is the cornerstone of Mediacorp’s evolving workplace culture
- Flexible work arrangements, such as hybrid work, have become one of the most transformational workplace changes in recent years, Lilian Tan, CHRO of Singapore’s national media network Mediacorp, said.
- Remote and hybrid work models have redefined the traditional work-life balance, allowing employees greater flexibility to manage their personal and professional lives, leading to increased job satisfaction and wellbeing,
- The transition to remote and hybrid work has enabled some organisations to tap into a global talent pool, breaking down geographical barriers and fostering more diverse and inclusive workplaces that drive innovation and creativity.
- To offer flexible arrangements, employers must balance the needs of the business, productivity and fairness to all. There is also the challenge of maintaining organisational culture, and in traditionally structured organisations, fostering a culture of trust and accountability can be an uphill task,
- Mediacorp adopts a people-oriented approach to flexible work that focuses on employee engagement and understanding individual needs. This includes regularly conducting surveys to gather insights into employee preferences and satisfaction with current work arrangements.
- In a hybrid set up, employees are trusted to focus on delivering outcomes rather than clocking the hours. This empowers teams to take ownership of their work, fostering accountability and reinforcing a culture where staff feel valued, trusted, and invested in the organisation’s growth.
- Hybrid work balances the need for flexibility with the benefits of in-person collaboration and is particularly effective for organisations aiming to foster innovation while respecting employee autonomy. It allows businesses to maintain culture and collaboration with giving employees the freedom to manage their time and productivity.
- To ensure business continuity and sustainability, hybrid work is also a useful tool to attract younger generations of employees and grooming them to be tomorrow’s leaders.
- Embracing AI and automation is crucial for streamlining HR processes, enhancing decision making, and improving employee experiences. A people-oriented approach that prioritises diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives to create a more inclusive workplace will also motivate the best leaders.
- Investment in employees through continuous learning and development (L&D) programmes will equip employees with the skills needed for the future of work. Holistic wellbeing programmes like wellness programmes and mental health support will further address employees’ physical, mental, and emotional health.
- Developing robust policies and practices to support flexible work models ensures that all employees feel connected and engaged, whether they are in-office or working from home.

Robert Fellmeth: Transforming Children’s Lives Through Law and Education
- Robert Fellmeth, JD, has over 30 years of experience in education, specializing in child advocacy and legal services. He is a professor of law at the University of San Diego School of Law and founder and executive director of the Centers for Public Interest. He is the founder and director of the Children’s Advocacy Institute, which works on child rights issues through public education, litigation and legislation changes. Fellmeth wrote legislation to create the nation's only State Bar Court to adjudicate attorney discipline — an independent state system in regulating counsel. He is presently working on a major case relating to social security benefits for vulnerable former foster children and those leaving the system and litigating the case in California.
- In 1967, Fellmeth earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and in humanities, cum laude, from Stanford University, followed by a Juris Doctor from Harvard University Law School in 1970. Fellmeth is the co-author and author of various publications and contributed to textbooks on children’s rights and law. He brought over 20 antitrust actions and led studies of major state agencies relating to published reports, books, and legislative reforms.
- Fellmeth works on legislative reports and litigation for the Children’s Advocacy Institute (CAI), where he is responsible for creating “Kids’ Plates” — vehicle license plate options allowing the use of hearts and other symbols, and millions in fees generated dedicated to child safety measures. He worked for Ralph Nader's consumer projects and later became a deputy district attorney in San Diego, where he formed the nation’s first antitrust local prosecution unit.
- Fellmeth shifted his career towards teaching in 1981, becoming a professor of law at the University of San Diego School of Law and rising to Price Professor of Public Interest Law in 1992. His students graduated from law school with a concentration in child rights, consumer protection, or energy policy initiatives.
- Fellmeth’s consumer protection work includes monitoring major state agencies by staff and students, and disclosing details in California, the only reporter of its kind in the nation. He has been much involved in administrative law, and his projects have involved substantial reforms to Athletic Commission, the Public Utilities Commission, the Medical Board, the Contractors’ State Licensing Board, the Accountancy Board, and the State Bar.
- Fellmeth’s teaching includes clinics, legislative advocacy, and litigation. It involves advocacy offices with counsel located in Sacramento and Washington, DC, and participation in many of the national associations, including Public Citizen and the National Association of Counsel for Children, among others. Fellmeth is presently working on a major case relating to social security benefits for children in foster care and those who leave the system at age 18.
