Following Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s National Day Rally Dialogue (NDR) 2024 on 18 August, Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) immediately organised a post-NDR Dialogue exclusively for our members at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre on 19 August. Hosted by SNEF President, Mr Tan Hee Teck, this dialogue focused on the NDR announcements related to leave enhancements for new parents. Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister, Prime Minister's Office, Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for National Development, together with Minister for Manpower, Dr Tan See Leng, engaged with some 700 SNEF members who had the opportunity to seek clarifications and provide their feedback directly to the government. Through the dialogue, employers have a better understanding of the reasons for the enhancements. Nonetheless, SNEF understand that affected employers, especially the SMEs, would face greater challenge if their employees are away for an extended period of time. Hence, SNEF will continue to work with the Government to provide more support to employers to overcome their manpower challenges. Join our growing network of members to be amongst the first, to be informed of manpower policy changes and updates. Not a member yet? Contact our membership team at mcr@snef.org.sg #SNEF #NDR2024

SNEF is glad to know that vast majority of employers are responsible. This is according to the Employment Standards Report 2023 released by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM) today. The overall incidence of employment claims and appeals increased from 1.97 in 2022 to 2.53 per 1,000 employees in 2023 but remained lower than the pre-COVID period (2019: 3.04 per 1,000 employees). SNEF noted that the increase was mainly due to salary claims because of a more challenging business environment in 2023, where the Singapore economy grew by only 1.1% as compared to 3.8% in 2022. In addition, vast majority of employers who were arrear in salary payments had genuine difficulties as only 1% were wilful employers who did not pay salaries in full. The incidence of wrongful dismissal claims also remained low at 0.32 per 1,000 employees in 2023. Nonetheless, employers should have a robust grievance handling procedure to try to resolve any employment disputes in the workplace. This would also help them better prepare for the upcoming Workplace Fairness Legislation. If employers need any assistance to implement responsible employment practices, they can contact SNEF at mcr@snef.org.sg.
In 2023, more than 80% of employment claims were resolved amicably at Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM), with 94% of employees fully recovering their salaries. 🤝 We will continue to work closely with TADM to uphold employment standards and build progressive and harmonious workplaces for both employers and employees.

In an ever-changing business landscape, it is increasingly clear that workplace safety and health (WSH) can no longer be an afterthought for business leaders. Beyond moral and regulatory considerations, WSH plays a pivotal role in ensuring business sustainability and a paradigm shift is required to recognise WSH as the cornerstone of business operations. There is also greater emphasis on sustainability objectives and the significance of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) reporting where companies are realising that exceling in WSH while demonstrating a strong commitment to ESG can provide a competitive edge. The 8th edition of The Singapore Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Conference will be held on 11 September 2024 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre. Join The Singapore WSH Conference 2024 and gain access to insights from over 25 expert speakers across two plenary sessions and four symposiums. The Conference is organised by the Workplace Safety and Health Council, Ministry of Manpower, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF). Enjoy preferential rates when you sign up for the Conference using the code "SWSHC2024SNEF". Find out more about the programme and speakers at https://lnkd.in/gVnsa_g
