The United Overseas Bank (UOB) has announced that they’ll be bringing back retired employees for short-term and project-based jobs. In a report from Channel News Asia, the bank will be offering opportunities in the fields of customer service, process and systems training, operations, project advisory. UOB said they’ll also be offering healthcare benefits and insurance coverage for those who will get hired – amid growing concerns on the treatment towards gig workers in the country.
The programme will be launched next year, CNA reported, but a pilot is already underway in some bank’s branches to find out which roles are best for gig work. A poll from the bank in June revealed that eight in 10 workers are considering a flexible working opportunity after they retire, with shorter work hours and pay-for-service options.
