Event Details

AmCham Singapore is delighted to host Secretary-General of the National Trades Union Congress Ng Chee Meng, for an in-person dialogue to discuss the joint efforts made by the National Trades Union Congress and Singapore National Employers Federation (NTUC-SNEF PME Taskforce) in understanding the key concerns and needs of Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs) at the workplace.

This informal, closed-door dialogue aims to provide an avenue for members of AmCham Singapore to share their thoughts and input on addressing the challenges faced by PMEs and to hear Secretary-General Ng's views of how NTUC and unions, businesses and government agencies can come together to strengthen our PME's employment and employability. Members can take this opportunity to clarify concerns on the recommendations put forward by the taskforce, or to share any ideas that have been successfully implemented in other organizations to help PMEs.

The dialogue with Secretary-General Ng will be held at the XCL Auditorium at AmCham Office and will be moderated by AmCham Board Governor, Monisha Oberoi.

Given the auditorium's limited seating capacity, we encourage interested member companies to nominate one suitably senior representative to attend.
