The state of workplace fairness in Singapore

01/23/24 • 24 min

Welcome to this episode of HRadiO, the podcast by Human Resources Online (HRO) that gives you insights into the latest trends in HR & leadership. In this edition, we’re discussing “The state of workplace fairness in Singapore.”
In August 2023, Singapore’s Government accepted the final set of 22 recommendations by the Tripartite Committee on Workplace Fairness. This was a huge milestone for employees, employers, and the society.
In fact, Minister for Manpower, Dr Tan See Leng said of the Workplace Fairness legislation that it “marks a significant step in Singapore employment law, and it will be scoped to achieve three wins: preserve harmonious workplaces, better protect workers, and support business growth in Singapore”.
On this episode, we have a special guest who is going to decode this development for us – Faith Li, General Manager, Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (also known as TAFEP). TAFEP works closely with the Ministry of Manpower to ensure employers adhere to the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices and the Fair Consideration Framework.
