This is why, she said, OCBC invests heavily into developing its talents through various initiatives. These include mentorship as well as redesigning jobs in line with digital transformation and trainingDr Tan drew attention to various ways the government helps workers to stay relevant in the workforce and embrace disruption, both directly and indirectly.
“Instead of acting only when things go wrong, we should be constantly actively, engagingly be developing our own career plans to pursue jobs and training opportunities in a focused and intentional manner,” said Dr Tan.“In tight labour markets especially, employers who support the career health of their workers will be better able to retain and attract workers.”
