Workers, companies must adapt and transform to stay relevant: Swee Say
Those retrenched should stay positive; tripartite partners stand ready to help them find new jobs
Singapore
AMID reports of several companies laying off workers in large numbers of late, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say hopes that those who have been retrenched will remain positive and realise that help is at the ready.
"I want to assure workers affected by retrenchment, let's work together and look at the future with hope and confidence," he told reporters on the sidelines of a career services event for the infocomm technology (ICT) sector on Friday. "The government will do our part, and the industry and unions will do their part too. Workers must be prepared to adapt, and then they can grow again."
