SOME FACTS
LET US EMPOWER
OUR NATION'S WORKFORCE
BY EFFECTING POLICY CHANGE
TOWARDS WORK-LIFE BALANCE
In 1998, a single mother, Chong Sheau Ching, decided to start eHomemakers - an organisation that helps women to earn a living from home using ICT technologies. She found that many women, especially those who were poor, disabled or caregivers, did not have many options for employment, thus reducing their chances to gain steady income. Her organisation helps match employers to teleworkers, provide support micro-businesses and train women to work from home.
Now, she envisions a better work environment for Malaysia and all ASEAN countries that promotes work-life balance. This requires policy changes at government and corporation levels to facilitate teleworking, job-sharing, flexi-hours and various forms of working from home. Such changes would not only produce a happy workforce and enable workers to spend more time with their families and fulfill their parental and filial commitments, but would generate much more income for a country's economy due to higher retention of employees - especially mothers.
We need your help to convince the governments that we need work-life balance! Join our movement and sign the petition!
