Our workforce is ageing. By 2020, we will have more than 500,000 people aged above 65, compared to about 300,000 in 2007. The life expectancy of our population is now 80 years old and they will need to work longer to have sufficient savings for old age.

As part of its effort to help older employees remain economically productive, the Government will enact re-employment legislation by 2012 to enable more people to continue working beyond the current statutory retirement age of 62, up to 65 in the first instance and, later, up to 67.

Specially designed for SMEs, the Capability Development Grant of S$10,000 helps defray some of the costs incurred in putting in place a HR system to implement re-employment measures that include the implementation of an e-performance appraisal system.

Attend this networking session to find out how your company may benefit from the activities organised by the PREPARE Community, including the latest announced grant scheme of S$10,000 specially catered to SMEs when you attend the PREPARE Programme.

Limited seat is available. Registration is on first-come-first-served basis.
