A step ahead in fair employment

SOME of Singapore’s largest recruiting agencies have pledged to “walk the talk” by signing a pledge to hire workers on merit and treating them fairly.

The Singapore Staffing Association (SSA) on Tuesday vowed to join a list of some 800 “fair employers” by signing the Pledge of Fair Employment Practices.

“As ambassadors of the work world, we at the SSA recognise that the creation of a fair work environment is a concerted effort, and we decided that we should first walk the talk by signing the pledge,” saidSSA president Dhirendra Shantilal.

Manpower Singapore’s country manager, Mr Philippe Capsie, said: “When there is a job to be done, the real issue is whether the person has the necessary skills and attitude to perform effectively regardless of race, age, gender or religion.”
