Sustain efforts to improve productivity, urges Josephine Teo

Singapore

SINGAPORE'S push to improve productivity has born fruit, but the gains remain uneven and are not pervasive enough as some sectors of the economy continue to be disrupted, incoming Manpower Minister Josephine Teo said on Sunday.

In her inaugural May Day message before taking over from Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say on Tuesday, she urged tripartite partners - government, employers and unions - to press on with helping businesses transform and workers adapt.
