Dear fellow FLAs,

Love is in the air this February… and March! Real Love Works is back for the third year in March (25 March to 3 April), to embrace and encourage couples to celebrate their marriages. Help us spread the message of love to your staff and affiliates.

Love Keeps the Family Together

In addition to your regular workplace family life education talks, check out these family events and workshops in the community. Gather your staff and sign up for some of these exciting activities as a company!

As per always, through words of wisdom from our resident family life education expert, Mr Simon Sim, the former General Manager of TOUCH Community Services gives some sound advice on how to keep the fire of love alive.

“Empty nest is not emptiness! But for many couples who have not invested in each other, this could well be the case. How sad to discover that after all those years of staying married, it was the children who were the glue to the marriage.”

Against the backdrop of an economic rebound and tight labour markets, organisations focus their human resource policies on the retention of talent. The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), with its many initiatives aimed at ensuring low staff turnover and high motivation levels, has been a leader in this field. Behind Every Success found out the secret behind the continued success of MINDEF in retaining some of its top talent.
