Championing Human Potential for a Thriving Singapore
Singaporeans are at the heart of what we do. The Ministry of Manpower empowers our people and fosters a thriving, inclusive workforce that drives Singapore’s growth and prosperity. By working closely with our tripartite partners, and industry and community stakeholders, we strive to create workforce and workplace policies that foster resilience, adaptability, and a bright future for a thriving Singapore.
Our Mission
We empower Singaporeans to access good job opportunities and have a secure retirement.
We ensure workers are able to work in safe, fair and progressive workplaces.
We enable businesses to thrive and create good jobs for Singaporeans.
Explanation
MOM will empower Singaporeans to take charge of their careers and navigate changes in the economy and labour market through access to training, resources and support so that they can seize good job opportunities. This will in turn enable Singaporeans to achieve income growth and a secure retirement.
We will work with employers, workers and unions to reinforce the collective workplace safety and health ownership, and uphold fairness, inclusivity and progressive practices at workplaces. This will strengthen our social compact and provide opportunities for all to progress.
MOM will enable businesses to thrive in a well-functioning labour market with access to skilled local and complementary foreign manpower. This will help Singapore remain as an attractive location for businesses to invest in and provide good jobs for Singaporeans.
Together with our tripartite partners, we will engender win-win outcomes for employers and workers to propel our society and economy forward.
Our Vision
Empowered Workforce, Thriving Workplaces.
Explanation
“Empowered Workforce” reflects MOM’s ambition to develop and equip our local workforce with the skills, knowledge and resources they need to take charge of their careers and navigate the evolving job landscape confidently. An empowered workforce is one where workers are adaptable, productive and able to make informed decisions about their career paths to seize new opportunities and achieve income growth.
“Thriving Workplaces” reflects MOM’s aspiration to develop and build thriving workplaces with employers and unions so that workers are safe, valued and motivated to contribute their best. These workplaces will effectively harness the productive capacity of our workforce while providing opportunities for all to participate and be engaged in the labour force.
Our Logo
MOM unveiled a new logo at its 70th anniversary dinner on 5 April 2025, marking a new chapter in its journey.
The circle at the top of the logo reflects our focus on people — employers, employees, and MOMers – highlighting that they are at the heart of everything we do. Three distinctive stripes represent the vital tripartite partnership between government, employers, and unions, emphasising our collaborative efforts to create a resilient and dynamic workforce. The colour palette balances stability and relatability: a dark blue, signifying trust and stability; a modern blue representing adaptability and innovation; and an orange accent adding warmth and relatability.
Together, these elements underscore MOM's unique role – dedicated to empowering individuals, creating opportunities for growth, and ensuring Singapore’s workforce remains globally competitive.
