Prepare workers for new roles even before they are retrenched

Singapore

IN an ideal world envisaged by Minister for Manpower Josephine Teo, workers will be well poised to take on new roles in the same company, even as their old ones are being phased out.

To strive to get there, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will work more closely with economic agencies and companies to retrain workers for new roles being created in their companies before they are retrenched.
