People & Skills Development Award
What is the award about?
For the fourth time, SwissCham Singapore will honour excellence in People & Skills Development. This Swiss Business Award was successfully launched in 2017 and attracted numerous submissions from the business community in Singapore.
It is our aim to celebrate member companies or other Singapore based organizations with a strong Swiss link who have achieved exceptional success, developed innovative and new technologies, partnerships, showed excellence in social behaviour and entrepreneurial enadeavours. This year a special consideration will be given to successful people management and skills development efforts shown during the recent Covid-19 outbreak.
As the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted businesses and employers severely, we want to reward companies who have demonstrated excellence in supporting, training, and developing their employees in Singapore during this challenging time. The importance of the employability of the overall workforce – not only in a crisis like this – but also in the light of the global digital transformation has significantly increased.
SwissCham invites you to nominate your company and apply for the SwissCham People & Skills Development Award 2020. We are proud to have SkillsFuture Singapore as our Official Award Partner for the People & Skills Development Award.
