How much has the job market landscape in Singapore really changed over the past 10 years? I’ve been working for a while now, and I’m starting to notice how different the job market feels compared to when I first entered in 2013. Are companies looking for totally different things in candidates these days? Or is it more about adapting to new tools, faster workflows, and changing work cultures? Would love to hear what others have observed too.

As someone working in HR, I’ve been trying to keep up with the latest trends that truly support employee overall wellbeing. Not just the usual mental health talks, but things that improve overall quality of life at work. Like, what are companies in Singapore actually doing now that works? Is it shorter work weeks? Flexible hours? Wellness budgets? Keen to hear from others—what kind of working culture initiatives have you seen or experienced that genuinely made a difference?

Fresh graduate here. Completed MSc in Supply Chain Management from NUS as an international student. I’ve invested a significant amount in tuition and living expenses, and I’ve been actively searching for a job for the past 8 months in SG. Despite giving it my best, I’m still trying to understand where I might be going wrong. I'm now reaching out to this community—if anyone has any leads or advice, I would truly appreciate your help. I’m open and willing to work in any kind of supply chain role.

Bro been seeing more job listings mentioning blockchain technology lately, not just in crypto startups, but in banks, supply chain, even marketing agencies. 👀 I don’t have a tech background, but I’m super curious. What skills do you actually need to break into this field? Is coding a must, or are there non-tech roles as well (like PM, ops, compliance, etc)?

Feels like everyone’s pivoting to digital transformation such as tech, data, AI tools, etc. Even folks from biz or comms are upskilling fast. I actually like my current role, but seeing how some of my team’s processes and SOPs are slowly getting automated makes me wonder if I’ll get left behind. Lowkey feeling pressured to keep up even though I’m not sure in what ways I can upgrade myself. I know it's never too late to learn but how do i decide which area of my job needs improvement?

Digital transformation is a major trend, with companies heavily investing in tech like AI and cloud-based solutions. However, there’s a shortage of skilled talent to meet this demand, so businesses are focusing on upskilling their employees. For those in tech, now’s the time to upskill in areas like AI, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Even if you're in a non-tech role, embracing digital tools is becoming essential. Anyone else navigating this shift and feeling the pressure to adapt?

I used to work with a colleague who had hearing loss, and it made me realise how most meetings aren’t designed with accessibility in mind. No captions, no visual cues, everyone talks over each other. Even basic things like ensuring instructions are written down help a lot. I feel like more awareness is needed—not just HR talks, but actual changes in how we work. Are your workplaces doing enough to support colleagues with different needs?

I recently visited a friend’s office and noticed how hard it was for her to move around in her wheelchair. While some places in SG are getting more inclusive, many offices still aren’t PMA-friendly. Doors too narrow, no ramps, tight spaces. I think companies need to go beyond just hiring disabled workers. They need to make the whole environment accessible too. Anyone here working in an inclusive space? What has your company done differently that can improve workplace accessibility?

We’re already in Q2 of 2025 and I’ve been keeping an eye on the tech scene in Singapore. Last year felt like a whirlwind—AI this, AI that. But now, I’m curious about the underdogs. Startups in healthtech and edtech are starting to pop up again. I recently stumbled upon a local startup focused on mental wellness using gamification—super cool concept. Anyone else heard of new startups making waves this year? Keen to know what’s brewing beyond the usual AI hype.

Lately I’ve noticed more companies in Singapore jumping on the wellness bandwagon. Things like mental health days, therapy reimbursements, flexible hours, even no-meeting Fridays. On paper, sounds amazing right? But I can't help but wonder… are these changes ACTUALLY helping people feel better at work, or just another tick-box HR trend? I still see people burning out, working OT, skipping breaks. Anyone here genuinely benefitting from all these wellness perks?
