How Our Services Transform Your Workforce

Talent Attraction

Hiring the right people starts before the offer letter. Under JR+, we redesign your employer brand and recruitment process, and train your interviewers to hire well

Career Progression

Employees leave when they can't see a future at your company. Under JR+, we build structured career pathways that show your people exactly how their role can grow

Learning & Development

Sustainable transformation requires upskilling. Under JR+, we design tailored programmes to build your employees' capabilities, helping them tackle their redesigned roles

Performance Management

Redesigned roles need redesigned expectations to go with them. With JR+, we build performance frameworks that give your employees clarity in their new roles

Compensation & Benefits

Pay alone doesn't retain people, and poor compensation drives them away. We redesign your compensation and benefits to reflect the value of redesigned roles and stay competitive in the market

Employee Engagement Surveys

Our Teamsight employee engagement survey runs a structured diagnostic across various levels of your organisation, so your JR+ project is built on real on-the-ground data, not assumptions

Job Redesign

At the core of every JR+ project, we review your workflows, eliminate overlaps, and restructure job scopes so your people spend time on work that actually moves the needle

AI Readiness

Under JR+, we assess your team's AI readiness, redesign roles around new technology, and equip your people with the skills to work alongside AI confidently

Understanding your options

Start by identifying the bottlenecks in your current workflows — where tasks are slowing down, roles are overlapping, or talent is being underutilised. From there, you engage a pre-approved workforce consultant to run a structured workforce transformation project tailored to your business needs, typically redesigning job roles, streamlining processes, and building your team’s human capital capabilities to meet evolving demands.

About the WDG(JR+)

The WDG(JR+) supports three key areas of workforce transformation:

1) Workforce Consultancy — up to $50,000. Expert guidance from pre-approved consultants, from assessing your business needs to redesigning roles and building an implementation plan.

2) Capability Building Initiatives — up to $60,000. Train your line managers and HR team to drive ongoing job redesign, employee career health and organisational change independently.

3) Workforce Tech Solutions — up to $90,000 (must be combined with at least one component above). Adopt workforce analytics, HR management, skills-gap and AI-powered HR tools.

It runs on a nett fee model: you pay only your co-funding portion directly to the consultant; the government grant is paid once approved milestones are completed. For more detail, see our LinkedIn infographic.

overviewfundingcapability-buildingtech-solutions

(1) Workforce Consultancy — for example, redesigning workflows to automate repetitive manual tasks so employees can be redeployed to higher-value work.

(2) Capability Building Initiatives — for example, embedding change management using our 4P framework (People, Process, Policy, Perception), and building your team’s confidence to deploy AI tools using our 3D methodology (Discover, Design, Deploy).

(3) Workforce Tech Solutions — adopting workforce analytics, skills-gap analysis, or AI-powered HR tech for data-driven decision-making. See our LinkedIn infographic for more.

overviewcapability-buildingtech-solutions

All participating enterprises must be registered or incorporated and operating in Singapore, and employ at least three local employees (Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents). At the point of application, applicants must not have already paid for JR-related consultancy services, or signed a contract or purchase order for JR or workforce-related consultancy services with a pre-approved consultant or third party. See our LinkedIn infographic for more.

eligibility

WDG(JR+) covers up to 70% (SMEs) or 50% (non-SMEs) of your workforce transformation project. SFEC then lets you claim back up to $10,000 of the remaining costs. The current SFEC expires on 30 November 2026, so we recommend completing your project before then to use it. If you have no SFEC left, a new allocation becomes available from 1 December 2026 to kick-start your journey. See our LinkedIn infographic for more.

WDG(JR+) is a broad-based government initiative designed to reach a wide spectrum of companies, supporting comprehensive workforce transformation and job redesign.
