    [SINGAPORE] Workers should see improving their career health as a form of professional insurance, especially amid economic uncertainty and rapid change, said Workforce Singapore’s (WSG) chief executive Dilys Boey.

    The new Career Health SG initiative, launched on Thursday (Jul 10), aims to help workers do just that.

    Speaking to The Business Times ahead of the launch, Boey said workers should assess their skills and close gaps before change is forced upon them.
