HR Capability Programme
1. The HR Capability Programme thus aims to provide consultancy support to help local SMEs to implement the good HR practices embedded in the modules under the Package in their organisations.
Who can apply?
2. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can tap on the HR Capability Programme if their company meets the following criteria:
(i) at least 30% of the shareholding is local
(ii) the company’s group fixed assets are below $15 million
(iii) the company has no more than 200 employees (for companies in the services sector)
(iv) the proposed project is carried out for Singapore-based operations Only
(v) at least one staff who is currently handling HR functions will be assigned to be part of the project team and he or she must have attended the MFT workshop for HR Capability Package prior to project commencement
How does the HR Capability Programme work?
3. For a start, SPRING will be partnering SNEF to provide the consultancy through its PMC-certified in-house consultants or affiliate consultants. Interested SMEs will need to approach SNEF first to scope their consultancy needs based on the modules of the HR Capability Package, and request for a project proposal. With the proposal, SMEs can submit their application for the Programme.
4. Each consultancy project should comprise the implementation of minimum 3 modules to all 6 modules of the HR Capability Package to ensure that there is substantial transformation to their HR practices. The consultancy cost per module is $3,000. Companies taking up all 6 modules in one consultancy project will pay the total consultancy cost for only 5 modules i.e. $15,000 (instead of $18,000).
5. 70% of qualifying consultancy costs for each project will be supported between 1 August 2009 to 31 October 2010. Other costs, such as manpower, software (including customisation) and hardware costs will not be eligible for support under the programme.
6. Interested SMEs can approach SNEF for an appointment. Please contact Mr Stephen Wong at DID: 6324 1481or Mr Kee Chia Choon at DID: 6324 0437.
