Workplace Policy and Strategy Division

The Workplace Policy and Strategy Division (WPSD) was formed in May 2006 to drive and co-ordinate MOM's work in enhancing workplace practices and standards. WPSD's strategic and integrated approach to the development of workplace policies is geared towards achieving MOM's vision of making Singapore a "Great Workplace" for both local and foreign workers.

WPSD works closely with other divisions within the Ministry, including the Foreign Manpower Management Division (FMMD), Occupational Safety and Health Division (OSHD) and Labour Relations and Workplaces Division (LRWD), in the formulation and implementation of workplace policies. These policies address a wide spectrum of issues, such as improving employment and occupational safety standards, as well as ensuring the proper management and well-being of foreign workers. Through surveys and research projects, the division also seeks to derive a better understanding of workplace practices across industry sectors.

The International Relations Unit, which oversees and conducts MOM's relations with international agencies and foreign counterparts, is also part of the WPSD.
