​As technology and artificial intelligence reshape the workforce, strategic approaches to job redesign and skills development are becoming essential. Recognizing this shift, the Singapore government has introduced comprehensive guidelines to help organisations adapt to these changes.

​While some roles will inevitably evolve or be phased out, others will demand new skill sets that remain scarce in the local talent pool. At the same time, the Ministry of Manpower’s (MOM) updated COMPASS framework has introduced stricter criteria for hiring and retaining foreign employees on Employment Passes (EP).

​How can organisations prepare roles for the future of work while finding and retaining the right talent under these regulations?

​This event is designed for HR leaders, talent acquisition specialists, and hiring managers who aim to stay compliant, attract quality candidates, and navigate EP approvals effectively.

​Session Highlights

​In the first segment, Aon will present strategies on optimising job design and cover ways to make roles more attractive to top talents.

​Following this, Veremark will share real-life insights on actual EP cases that got rejected vs. approved by the Singapore government, and provide practical solutions to help you overcome common EP application pitfalls.

​Together, these sessions provide a comprehensive toolkit to help organisations build compliant, competitive hiring frameworks.
