Fair Job Advertisement

Employers should not discriminate on characteristics that are not related to the job, such as age, gender, nationality, race, religion, marital status and family responsibilities or disability.

​

Ensure that selection criteria in job advertisements are related to the qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience of the candidates. Words or phrases that exclude Singaporeans or indicate preference for non-Singaporeans should not be used in job advertisements. 

​

​

Recruit and select employees on the basis of merit

Employers are strongly encouraged to advertise their job vacancies on MyCareersFuture, in order to access a larger pool of Singaporean candidates.

Employers are strongly encouraged to ensure that jobs advertisements are open to Singaporeans and review all Singaporean applicants. By attracting the right employees based on their merit, ability and skill, employers are able to ensure that the best available person gets the job.

Treat employees fairly and with respect

Employers should build an environment of mutual respect and understanding and adopt employment practices that will enable employees to perform at their best.

​

Employers should communicate the The Tripartite Guidelines and educate both management and employees, so they understand their roles to exercise mutual-respect and understanding at the workplace to enhance workplace harmony

Fair Performance Appraisal and Promotion

The workplace environment has a large effect on the productivity of employees. In order to fairly evaluate  job performance, employers should always communicate posting and training opportunities to all eligible employees.

Employers should consider implementing transparent structures for promotions and assess all interested candidates based on objective selection criteria. The selection criteria should be reviewed regularly to check against discrimination.
