SingPost cuts pay for SVPs and higher by 5%

Its measures amidst the COVID-19 outbreak will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Singapore Post (SingPost) is implementing a pay reduction of 5% for its senior vice presidents (SVPs) and higher starting 1 April to offset the economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, according to an internal memo seen by Singapore Business Review.

At the same time, it will also implement a freeze in pay and promotion increment for all assistant vice presidents (AVPs) and above, group CEO Paul Coutts said in the memo.

For the same reason, the company will have an immediate hiring freeze across the entire organisation, except for essential roles as determined by its chief human resources officer and group CFO.

These measures will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by its management committee. Team members ranked senior managers and below will not be affected by these measures, Coutts added.

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.
