Learn about the Ministry of Manpower’s mission and values and how these support the vision of building a Great Workforce and a Great Workplace for Singapore.
Vision.
A Great Workforce. A Great Workplace.
Mission
To develop a productive workforce and progressive workplaces, for Singaporeans to have better jobs and a secure retirement.
Explanation
We aim to develop a great workforce and a great workplace. Singaporeans can aspire to real income growth, fulfilling careers and financial security, while we maintain a manpower-lean and competitive economy.
To achieve our vision and mission, we aim to enable companies to provide good jobs and Singaporeans to take up good jobs, to build a strong Singaporean core.
We will maintain a skilled foreign workforce to complement our local workforce.
We will also enable job opportunities for all, sustain wage growth and improve workplace conditions for the vulnerable.
We aspire to develop fair and progressive workplaces to ensure the well-being, health and safety of our workers.
We also aim to enable Singaporeans to achieve financial security and peace of mind for retirement.
We will not be able to achieve our vision and mission alone. We need to work closely with our tripartite partners, engage and co-create with our stakeholders.
