Work Lunches, Team Building And Socialising: Yay Or Nay?

For some, work lunches are an opportunity to network and connect with your fellow colleagues, but tor others, the work lunch offers a respite from the pressures of the office; That's why some have voiced out their dislike of being invited to one. We speak to Sim Ling Ku, HR influencer, about this trend, and whether being social at work is a thing of the past. Then, we ask our listeners where they stand on work lunches and social events in the workplace.
