Job Redesigning Sharing Session - Holistic Look at Workforce Transformation for the Built Environment Sector

In collaboration with Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and Workforce Singapore (WSG), Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) warmly invites HR Managers, HR Business Partners, HR Directors and Business Owners to a half-day briefing on Job Redesign and to share on an upcoming project to aggregate demand and redesign multiple job roles relevant to construction firms.

Insights into Agencies Regulatory Intent and Objectives: Inter-Agency Coordinating Committee (IACC) is a tripartite committee comprising of 10 regulatory agencies, 5 key industry associations and other key public sector developers, chaired by BCA. The main objective of IACC is to facilitate fast and effective resolution of any conflicting regulatory requirements impeding the progress of a project. As part of the IACC scope, agencies also review and align policies and processes at cross agency level. IACC will be organising a seminar this year to share some of the key learning points from recent cases tabled in the IACC resolution platform and highlight IACC agencies efforts to foster better understanding of regulatory intent and its objectives, conveying the rationale behind regulatory measures. The objective is to engage professionals and industry stakeholders to stay informed with the latest regulations and understand the principles behind the regulatory requirements.
