The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has taken graduated steps to tighten foreign labour policies so as to slow down and manage the growth of the foreign workforce, enhance productivity, and ensure that Singaporeans remain at the core of our workforce. MOM will be making changes to the EFMA, to ensure the effectiveness of the foreign labor policies, enhance deterrence against circumventions of the work pass framework and provide a level playing field for law-abiding businesses. HR Capability Programme addresses HR gaps and promoting good HR practice. It aids employers achieve excellence in employment practices in order to enhance their productivity and competitiveness as well as the quality of their employees’ work life. Also, strengthen the employers’ role in the tripartite partnership (government, employer and union) to enhance industrial harmony in Singapore. The Capability Development Grant is part of an initiative developed by Singapore Workforce Development (WDA) in partnership with the Tripartite Partners and administered by the Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (ASME). The purpose is to help companies to put in place HR systems to facilitate practices in preparation for the Re-employment Legislation. Companies can tap on $10,000 from the grant to defray the costs incurred in implementing the HR system to support re-employment.
