NOTICE PAPER NO. 353 OF 2026 FOR SITTING ON OR AFTER 14 JANUARY 2026
QUESTION NO. 1124 FOR ORAL ANSWER

MP: Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song

To ask the Minister for Manpower (a) whether the Support for Job Redesign programme is deployed to incentivise flexible work arrangements that mirror platform autonomy to attract platform workers back to traditional employment; and (b) if so, what results have been achieved through this programme.

Answer:

The Support for Job Redesign programme aims to help employers redesign jobs to drive business objectives, including accommodating Flexible Work Arrangements (FWAs), improve workforce effectiveness, and help businesses tap on a broader pool of workers.

2. The programme is not targeted at bringing platform workers back to traditional employment, as platform workers operate under different work arrangements from employees on FWAs.

3. WSG does not track the number of platform workers who transition to traditional employment through the programme.
