About this Event

Singapore’s workforce is becoming increasingly educated and credentialed, yet many organisations continue to face persistent skills gaps, hiring difficulties, and challenges in finding the right talent fit. In today’s labour market, the issue is often not “overqualification”, but the growing disconnect between job requirements, workforce capabilities and how organisations assess and deploy talent effectively.

As workforce expectations evolve and businesses face increasing pressure to remain agile, organisations must rethink traditional hiring and workforce planning approaches. This includes moving beyond credential-based decisions towards more capability-driven strategies that better align skills, business needs and workforce adaptability.

This seminar brings together industry experts from PayrollServe, Enable Consulting and e2i to explore practical approaches organisations can take to address workforce challenges in today’s labour market. The session will cover workforce planning strategies, skills-first hiring, job redesign, career mobility and workforce transformation support available to businesses in Singapore.

Participants will gain practical insights into how organisations can better optimise talent, strengthen workforce agility and build more future-ready workforce strategies in a changing employment landscape.


You will gain insights into:

  • Key workforce and hiring challenges shaping Singapore’s labour market today
  • Why skills gaps persist despite an increasingly educated workforce
  • Moving beyond qualification-based hiring towards skills-first workforce strategies
  • Practical approaches to workforce planning and scalable HR processes
  • How job redesign can better align employee capabilities with business needs
  • Strategies to improve job fit, workforce adaptability and career mobility
  • Government grants and workforce transformation support available to employers
  • Industry perspectives on balancing skills, qualifications and workforce demands


By the end of the session, participants will walk away with practical strategies to strengthen workforce planning, improve hiring outcomes and build a more adaptable and future-ready workforce.


Who should attend?

  • Business Owners and Senior Leaders navigating workforce and hiring challenges
  • HR Directors, Managers and Business Partners responsible for workforce planning and talent strategy
  • Talent Acquisition and Recruitment Professionals exploring skills-first hiring approaches
  • Organisations looking to improve workforce agility, job fit and talent deployment
  • Companies undergoing workforce transformation or job redesign initiatives
