Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 1: Patrick Tay on career longevity of public officers
While policy changes have been enacted to enable public officers to continue working for longer, how can the public service ensure that individual officers on the ground feel confident, well-equipped and adequately prepared for their extended careers as job demands will change in the future? What specific programmes and resources are being put in place to empower public officers as they navigate longer working lives? How can the public service help officers build good transition skills and strike a balance between leveraging their wealth of experience while remaining able, agile and adaptable in the rapidly evolving work landscape? MP Patrick Tay raised these questions in parliament on Friday (Feb 28).
