Responding to queries from The Straits Times, an NUS spokeswoman said that since Sept 1, NUS staff from central administration units have resumed working on campus five days a week.

This arrangement was extended to the rest of the university from October.

In the reply on Oct 2, she said that based on Ministry of Manpower data, close to 70 per cent of companies in Singapore did not offer telework arrangements in 2023.

"NUS, too, recognises the value of in-person interactions in the workplace," she said.

The university had earlier reduced its work-from-home days from two days to one in 2023.
