THE NGEE ANN KONGSI-IPS CITIZENS’ PANEL ON EMPLOYMENT RESILIENCE

The employment landscape is changing due to global trends like rapid technological progress, shifting industry priorities, and increasing remote and hybrid working arrangements post-pandemic. As such, there will be more transitions in and out of employment throughout one's career in future. Employment resilience refers to the capability of workers (and the workforce) to remain and continue to be employable and “in-demand” in the face of changing expectations and competition. The Ngee Ann Kongsi - Institute of Policy Studies Citizens’ Panel on Employment Resilience, held over four sessions in February and March 2023, saw the participation of 59 Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs). They included  employees, employers, employment intermediaries and the unemployed. Together, they co-created recommendations for this challenge statement:
