“There is a lot of work done behind the scenes by the Labour Movement to help the workers get better employment terms and lead better lives. As an Industrial Relations Officer, I meet up with stakeholders such as union leaders and management partners to help improve the workers’ employment terms and conditions – ensuring that they are fairly treated at their workplace and making sure things are in compliance with the Employment Act.”

"As a working mother of three boys and a PME myself, I can fully understand the challenges that the PMEs today face – having to juggle work with family commitments. My work allows me to be directly involved in creating a positive impact in the lives of fellow PMEs in the growth of their careers. Through the U Associate ecosystem of associations, we prepare our PMEs to be future-ready and open up greater opportunities for PMEs in Singapore.”
