Over the past 18 months, it consulted more than 1,000 employers, workers, HR professionals, trade associations and chambers, HR institutions, academia and government agencies.Five recommendations for workforce and HR transformationThe first recommendation is to establish the Singapore Opportunity Index (SOI) as a national benchmark for the opportunities employers create for workers, using verified administrative data.The index is intended to help workers make more informed career decisions while giving employers greater insight into the impact of their human capital strategies. Tripartite and industry partners will also provide advisory services and resources to help enterprises interpret their SOI reports and strengthen their people strategies.The second recommendation focuses on helping enterprises strengthen workforce planning while making strategic HR expertise more accessible to SMEs.The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) and IHRP will provide practical guides and real-world examples to help companies incorporate workforce transformation into broader enterprise transformation plans.For SMEs without dedicated strategic HR expertise, IHRP and Singapore-based startup co:grow are piloting a model that matches participating businesses with experienced HR leaders on a part-time, embedded basis.The third recommendation centres on responsible and effective AI adoption in HR.Tripartite partners will introduce the People-centred AI Transformation for HR (PATH) initiative, which will include AI Starter Kits combining AI solutions with implementation guidance, consultancy, training and funding support for high-impact HR use cases.IHRP will also work with training partners to introduce accredited programmes aligned with 12 new IHRP AI Fluency Skills Badges. NTUC will develop a playbook for HR professionals navigating AI transformation, which is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2027.The workgroup has also recommended guidance on responsible AI use in recruitment as AI becomes more widely used in hiring and other employment decisions. The guidance will cover processes and safeguards to help ensure employment decisions remain fair and merit-based.The fourth recommendation is to professionalise HR practice by establishing a baseline for HR capability.Under the recommendation, organisations with more than 200 employees should have at least one suitable HR professional who is an IHRP Certified Professional.The government has accepted the recommendation and will make the requirement mandatory from July 1, 2028.&nbsp;Organisations with more than 200 employees will be required to have at least one HR professional certified at the IHRP Certified Professional (IHRP-CP) level or higher.The government said the requirement will support firms in building progressive workplaces and good jobs, while helping them prepare for the implementation of the Workplace Fairness Act and changes to the Employment Act.Companies will be able to meet the requirement through equivalent certifications from international HR professional bodies recognised by IHRP, subject to any prescribed bridging requirements.The government will also provide an additional S$100 subsidy for Singapore residents undertaking IHRP certification between October 1, 2026 and June 30, 2028.&nbsp;This will bring certification fees to S$163.50 for IHRP-CP certification and S$272.50 for IHRP Senior Professionals (IHRP-SP) certification, both valid for three years.Organisations will also be allowed to use their SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit to offset remaining out-of-pocket certification costs for their HR professionals.The fifth recommendation focuses on developing people leaders capable of leading workforce transformation. The Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI) is designing a human capital leadership development programme for senior HR and people leaders, with a focus on building capabilities, resources and support networks for next-generation enterprises.Government backs all five recommendationsThe government said it will work with NTUC, SNEF and industry stakeholders to implement all five recommendations.Kenny Tan, Deputy Secretary (Workforce) at the Ministry of Manpower and TWG-HC co-chair, said the recommendations reflect a shared vision of workplaces where workers have opportunities to build meaningful careers while businesses strengthen their ability to adapt and grow.“Leaders at all levels of the organisation – business leaders, human resource professionals and people managers – must drive enterprise and workforce transformation together,” Tan said.Patrick Tay, Assistant Secretary-General of NTUC and TWG-HC co-chair, said HR professionals need to increasingly act as strategic partners as businesses transform and adopt AI.“Stronger human capital capabilities can help companies make better workforce decisions, invest in their people, and ultimately create better jobs and work prospects for the Singaporean core, including PMEs,” Tay 
17said.Benjamin Boh, Council Member of SNEF and TWG-HC co-chair, said business and workforce transformation need to progress together, adding that stronger HR capabilities can help companies translate business priorities into people strategies and build skills for growth.The recommendations form part of Singapore’s broader effort to strengthen human capital capabilities as technology reshapes jobs, skills and workplace practices.","datePublished":"2026-09-24T06:03:48.370Z","dateModified":"2026-09-24T06:03:52.691Z","image":["https://asset.peoplematters.in/images/be4dfc14-021a-408d-b11f-c96dbcb32ad6.png"],"author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Anjum Khan","url":"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/author/anjum-khan"}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"People Matters","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/assets/images/logo.png"}},"inLanguage":"en-SG","url":"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/news/economy-policy/singapore-mandates-hr-certification-for-firms-with-200-employees-from-2028-52297","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/news/economy-policy/singapore-mandates-hr-certification-for-firms-with-200-employees-from-2028-52297"}}</script>

Over the past 18 months, it consulted more than 1,000 employers, workers, HR professionals, trade associations and chambers, HR institutions, academia and government agencies.</p><p ><br></p><p ><b>Five recommendations for workforce and HR transformation</b></p><p ><br></p><p >The <b>first recommendation</b> is to establish the Singapore Opportunity Index (SOI) as a national benchmark for the opportunities employers create for workers, using verified administrative data.</p><p ><br></p><p >The index is intended to help workers make more informed career decisions while giving employers greater insight into the impact of their human capital strategies. Tripartite and industry partners will also provide advisory services and resources to help enterprises interpret their SOI reports and strengthen their people strategies.</p><p ><br></p><p >The <b>second recommendation</b> focuses on helping enterprises strengthen workforce planning while making strategic HR expertise more accessible to SMEs.</p><p ><br></p><p >The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) and IHRP will provide practical guides and real-world examples to help companies incorporate workforce transformation into broader enterprise transformation plans.</p><p ><br></p><p >For SMEs without dedicated strategic HR expertise, IHRP and Singapore-based startup co:grow are piloting a model that matches participating businesses with experienced HR leaders on a part-time, embedded basis.</p><p ><br></p><p >The <b>third recommendation</b> centres on responsible and effective AI adoption in HR.</p><p ><br></p><p >Tripartite partners will introduce the People-centred AI Transformation for HR (PATH) initiative, which will include AI Starter Kits combining AI solutions with implementation guidance, consultancy, training and funding support for high-impact HR use cases.</p><p ><br></p><p >IHRP will also work with training partners to introduce accredited programmes aligned with 12 new IHRP AI Fluency Skills Badges. NTUC will develop a playbook for HR professionals navigating AI transformation, which is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2027.</p><p ><br></p><p >The workgroup has also recommended guidance on responsible AI use in recruitment as AI becomes more widely used in hiring and other employment decisions. The guidance will c

The Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI) is designing a human capital leadership development programme for senior HR and people leaders, with a focus on building capabilities, resources and support networks for next-generation enterprises.</p><p ><br></p><p ><b>Government backs all five recommendations</b></p><p ><br></p><p >The government said it will work with NTUC, SNEF and industry stakeholders to implement all five recommendations.</p><p >Kenny Tan, Deputy Secretary (Workforce) at the Ministry of Manpower and TWG-HC co-chair, said the recommendations reflect a shared vision of workplaces where workers have opportunities to build meaningful careers while businesses strengthen their ability to adapt and grow.</p><p ><br></p><p >“Leaders at all levels of the organisation – business leaders, human resource professionals and people managers – must drive enterprise and workforce transformation together,” Tan said.</p><p ><br></p><p >Patrick Tay, Assistant Secretary-General of NTUC and TWG-HC co-chair, said HR professionals need to increasingly act as strategic partners as businesses transform and adopt AI.</p><p ><br></p><p >“Stronger human capital capabilities can help companies make better workforce decisions, invest in their people, and ultimately create better jobs and work prospects for the Singaporean core, including PMEs,” Tay said.</p><p ><br></p><p >Benjamin Boh, Council Member of SNEF and TWG-HC co-chair, said business and workforce transformation need to progress together, adding that stronger HR capabilities can help companies translate business priorities into people strategies and build skills for growth.</p><p ><br></p><p >The recommendations form part of Singapore’s broader effort to strengthen human capital capabilities as technology reshapes jobs, skills and workplace practices.</p></div></div></div><div class="pt-5"><div class="flex flex-col w-full gap-4 border-t-0.5 border-border mb-8"><div class="flex justify-between

Over the past 18 months, it consulted more than 1,000 employers, workers, HR professionals, trade associations and chambers, HR institutions, academia and government agencies.Five recommendations for workforce and HR transformationThe first recommendation is to establish the Singapore Opportunity Index (SOI) as a national benchmark for the opportunities employers create for workers, using verified administrative data.The index is intended to help workers make more informed career decisions while giving employers greater insight into the impact of their human capital strategies. Tripartite and industry partners will also provide advisory services and resources to help enterprises interpret their SOI reports and strengthen their people strategies.The second recommendation focuses on helping enterprises strengthen workforce planning while making strategic HR expertise more accessible to SMEs.The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) and IHRP will provide practical guides and real-world examples to help companies incorporate workforce transformation into broader enterprise transformation plans.For SMEs without dedicated strategic HR expertise, IHRP and Singapore-based startup co:grow are piloting a model that matches participating businesses with experienced HR leaders on a part-time, embedded basis.The third recommendation centres on responsible and effective AI adoption in HR.Tripartite partners will introduce the People-centred AI Transformation for HR (PATH) initiative, which will include AI Starter Kits combining AI solutions with implementation guidance, consultancy, training and funding support for high-impact HR use cases.IHRP will also work with training partners to introduce accredited programmes aligned with 12 new IHRP AI Fluency Skills Badges. NTUC will develop a playbook for HR professionals navigating AI transformation, which is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2027.The workgroup has also recommended guidance on responsible AI use in recruitment as AI becomes more widely used in hiring and other employment decisions. The guidance will cover processes and safeguards to help ensure employment decisions remain fair and merit-based.The fourth recommendation is to professionalise HR practice by establishing a baseline for HR capability.Under the recommendation, organisations with more than 200 employees should have at least one suitable HR professional who is an IHRP Certified Professional.The government has accepted the recommendation and will make the requirement mandatory from July 1, 2028.\u0026nbsp;Organisations with more than 200 employees will be required to have at least one HR professional certified at the IHRP Certified Professional (IHRP-CP) level or higher.The government said the requirement will support firms in building progressive workplaces and good jobs, while helping them prepare for the implementation of the Workplace Fairness Act and changes to the Employment Act.Companies will be able to meet the requirement through equivalent certifications from international HR professional bodies recognised by IHRP, subject to any prescribed bridging requirements.The government will also provide an additional S$100 subsidy for Singapore residents undertaking IHRP certification between October 1, 2026 and June 30, 2028.\u0026nbsp;This will bring certification fees to S$163.50 for IHRP-CP certification and S$272.50 for IHRP Senior Professionals (IHRP-SP) certification, both valid for three years.Organisations will also be allowed to use their SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit to offset remaining out-of-pocket certification costs for their HR professionals.The fifth recommendation focuses on developing people leaders capable of leading workforce transformation. The Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI) is designing a human capital leadership development programme for senior HR and people leaders, with a focus on building capabilities, resources and support networks for next-generation enterprises.Government backs all five recommendationsThe government said it will work with NTUC, SNEF and industry stakeholders to implement all five recommendations.Kenny Tan, Deputy Secretary (Workforce) at the Ministry of Manpower and TWG-HC co-chair, said the recommendations reflect a shared vision of workplaces where workers have opportunities to build meaningful careers while businesses strengthen their ability to adapt and grow.“Leaders at all levels of the organisation – business leaders, human resource professionals and people managers – must drive enterprise and workforce transformation together,” Tan said.Patrick Tay, Assistant Secretary-General of NTUC and TWG-HC co-chair, said HR professionals need to increasingly act as strategic partners as businesses transform and adopt AI.“Stronger human capital capabilities can help companies make better workforce decisions, invest in their people, and ultimately create better jobs and work prospects for the Singaporean core, including PMEs,” Tay 
115said.Benjamin Boh, Council Member of SNEF and TWG-HC co-chair, said business and workforce transformation need to progress together, adding that stronger HR capabilities can help companies translate business priorities into people strategies and build skills for growth.The recommendations form part of Singapore’s broader effort to strengthen human capital capabilities as technology reshapes jobs, skills and workplace practices.\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-09-24T06:03:48.370Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-09-24T06:03:52.691Z\",\"image\":[\"https://asset.peoplematters.in/images/be4dfc14-021a-408d-b11f-c96dbcb32ad6.png\"],\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Anjum Khan\",\"url\":\"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/author/anjum-khan\"}],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"People Matters\",\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/assets/images/logo.png\"}},\"inLanguage\":\"en-SG\",\"url\":\"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/news/economy-policy/singapore-mandates-hr-certification-for-firms-with-200-employees-from-2028-52297\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https://sea.peoplemattersglobal.com/news/economy-policy/singapore-mandates-hr-certification-for-firms-with-200-employees-from-2028-52297\"}}"])</script>
