SBF, trade unions commit to fair hiring practices

The 29 trade associations and chambers have released a joint statement.

As part of the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), 29 trade associations and chambers (TACs) have shown solidarity to pledge for fair hiring and employment practices through a joint statement.

Their statement is aligned with the Fair Consideration Framework and the Tripartite Guidelines for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices, which “underline employers’ commitment to preventing discrimination at the workplace and encouraging businesses to adopt progressive human resource practices."

The 29 TACs have come to declare their core principles, which include promoting positive workplace relations, practising fair hiring, and providing development opportunities.

“The Singapore business community plays a vital role in our economy in fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce. This joint statement underlines the importance for businesses to embrace fair hiring and employment practices and provides sustainable pathways to building a strong workforce for successful business in Singapore," SBF chairman Lim Ming Yan said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
