ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY

PREPARE Community is a Sustainable & Integrative Platform on Re-Employment

Since April 2008, NTUC and ASME have been championing PREPARE™, a customised programme that provides guidance to companies in implementing
Re-Employment of Older Workers as an integral part of their HR system in preparation of the Re-Employment Legislation by 1 Jan 2012.

Companies that have completed the programme have feedback that there is a need for a sustainable platform where they may continue to learn and share good practices on Re-Employment.  It is also recognised that at a national level, about 60% of the workforce in Singapore is employed by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).  Therefore, to better prepare more companies for the re-employment legislation in 2012, NTUC and ASME are collaborating to reach out to more SMEs and intensify their efforts on re-employment.

Jointly piloted by NTUC and ASME and supported by WDA, the PREPARE Community will assist participating companies to further intensify their Re-Employment Efforts.  Supported by an activity-based portal, your company may participate in a series of activities and learning platforms and be able to network and learn from other companies to tap on the experiences of older workers as a valuable manpower resource.

Our community is committed to

  Create awareness for companies to learn and commit on Re-Employment;

  Maintain momentum on Re-Employment for committed companies;

  Support companies to enhance their existing practices in preparation for Re-Employment legislation;

  Provide companies with the latest initiative and update by Tripartite Implementation Workgroup (TIWG); and

  Be a platform for ground feedback on Re-Employment issues and challenges for the TIWG.

Our Community is spearheaded by Employer Champions who will drive networking sessions and customise events that are relevant for you.

Your company may participate in a series of activities.  There are also platforms to network and learn from other companies on the experiences of having older workers as a valuable manpower resource.
