In Dialogue with Employers

 

Engaging Employers and HR Professionals on Parental Leave Enhancements  

In preparation for parental leave enhancements at the National Day Rally 2024, it was imperative to engage with key tripartite partners including the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) and the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME). Besides meetings with their leadership, larger town hall sessions were held with SNEF and ASME members on 19 Aug 2024 and 2 Sep 2024 respectively. In addition, three webinars were also held for more to guide HR leaders in implementing the new parental leave.
