\"Redundancy<\/p>\n

A quick calculation of a\u00a0poll by the Vulcan Post<\/a> revealed that even after the Singapore Ministry of Manpower\u00a0Labor Market Report for Q2 was released, a whopping 71.6% of respondents still cast their vote of confidence that their jobs are invulnerable to changes and disruption. What that also means is that more than 7 in 10 people think that they can keep the same jobs in the next 10 years and that redundancy does not apply to them.<\/p>\n

Due to the rise in redundancies, changes in business models, and the bleak market outlook in general, Labor Minister Chan Chun Sing emphasized that HR professionals are now required to perform more than just the role of the \u2018mother\u2019 of their peers \u2013 they actually need to start motivating and making sure that the staff are well-prepared lest disruption strikes.<\/p>\n

\u201cHelping today\u2019s unemployed into today\u2019s vacancy \u2013 that\u2019s just level one of your job. Now, you\u2019ll need to also help today\u2019s unemployed into tomorrow\u2019s vacancy, and eventually, tomorrow\u2019s unemployed into tomorrow\u2019s vacancy as well \u2013 and that\u2019s the tricky part.\u201d<\/p>\n

As job scopes evolve and industries change, individuals need to look at upgrading their skills and reducing their chances of falling into the redundancy pool. HR managers should also be aware of that to keep their current workforce constantly active and developing as hiring and training new staff may not be the most effective use of dwindling resources.<\/p>\n
