SINGAPORE: More than 1,900 companies have received the Progressive Wage Mark, which recognises their efforts to uplift lower-wage workers.
“When we have employees who are happy working at Uniqlo, that will translate into how they can provide excellent customer service. So naturally, to a certain extent, that will therefore boost sales within our stores.” Beyond progressive wages, the PW Mark Plus accreditation will require improved working environments, including training pathways, career prospects, workplace safety, and amenities such as rest areas for employees.From March 1, eligible firms must apply for a PW Mark when they are awarded government contracts.
Seven in 10 Singaporeans are likely to purchase goods and services from a PW Mark accredited company over one that is not, according to a recent Ministry of Manpower survey. The green-and-yellow badge shows that these companies have been recognised as being fair and protective of their employees, said Ms Yeo Wan Ling, director of the National Trades Union Congress' small and medium-sized enterprise arm U SME, as well as its women and family unit.
