According to a survey, managers said they need more support and training, ahead of the Workplace Fairness Act that is set to take effect next year or by 2027. Introduced in January this year, the law aims to protect workers from discrimination. It will be unlawful for employers to base hiring or firing decisions on characteristics such as nationality, sex or age. A survey of 200 managers by NTUC LearningHub revealed that one in three managers have heard of the legislation but do not know the full details of it, while nearly one in five have never heard of it.
