The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) marked its 45th anniversary with the SNEF45 Employers’ Summit, unveiling two initiatives to aid employers in navigating workplace transformation. The summit, themed “Forging the Future of Work Together,” highlighted SNEF’s ongoing commitment to progressive employment practices. The event, attended by over 300 guests, including Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, introduced the SNEF Advisory, Resource, and Consultancy Centre (ARCC) and the SNEF Research Advisory Panel (RAP).
SNEF has been instrumental in shaping Singapore’s labour landscape over the past 45 years, advocating for balanced solutions that benefit both employers and employees. SNEF President Tan Hee Teck emphasised the importance of continued engagement with members to navigate new realities in a fast-evolving world.
The ARCC aims to be a comprehensive resource hub, offering advisory, consultancy, and resource services to support workforce transformation. It will utilise GenAI-powered tools, such as an AI Chatbot, to streamline services and empower employers with self-help resources.
The RAP, comprising five distinguished academics, will guide SNEF’s research agenda, providing data-driven insights to champion employers’ interests. This panel will focus on identifying future workforce trends and ensuring research rigour.
The summit also featured a keynote address by Dr He Zhengyu of Ant Group and a panel discussion on integrating AI into workflows to boost growth and productivity. These initiatives underscore SNEF’s role in supporting employers through transformative changes in the workplace.
