Skill Up Your Human Capital: Managing Workforce Psychology to Recruit & Retain

Only 14% of Singapore employees are engaged at work, and nearly three in four are quietly looking for their next job. For SMEs, every hire and every resignation counts.

This session explains the psychology behind why people join, commit, complain and leave. It covers unwritten expectations, what motivates people, how they judge fairness, and what makes it safe to speak up.

You’ll get practical tools to recruit, engage and retain good people: employer branding, inclusive job ads, behavioural interviews, stay interviews and fair grievance handling. The session also covers the latest workplace rules and the 2026 grants that support SMEs.

Join us at our upcoming human capital workshop.
