Social service salaries hiked by up to 15%

Added remuneration should keep Singapore social service professionals competitively compensated.

With effect from 1 July 2012, the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MYCS) will increase its funding to Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs) running social services and programmes by $10 million (from $60 million in 2011 to about $70 million).

"A large part of the increase (about $6 million) goes towards the salaries of social service professionals to help VWOs provide competitive salaries to attract and retain critical staff," said MYCS.

The funding norms of social service jobs were adjusted to be comparable to salaries of similar jobs in the market. The funding norms of social workers were adjusted by up to 15%. Appropriate adjustments were also made to the funding norms of other key social service professionals (e.g. early intervention teachers, therapists, psychologists, Heads of Agencies, executives).

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
