IN HIS letter ("Creating happy workplace starts at the top", last Saturday), Mr Lawrence Loh Kiah Muan highlighted that creating a conducive and happy organisational climate is the responsibility of the chief executives and senior management.
The Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (Tafep) agrees that employers play a pivotal role in bringing about happy workplaces by implementing fair and progressive employment practices.
This means recruiting and managing employees based on merit and skills, being inclusive and putting in place good age-management practices and work-life strategies.
In our engagement with employers, we have found that those with fair and progressive employment practices tend to have higher employee retention rates and a more engaged and productive workforce.
Understanding and adapting to the diverse needs of different workforce segments are key factors to creating happy and inclusive workplaces.
Employee involvement is also critical to overcoming barriers to being inclusive at the workplace.
These issues will be discussed at Tafep's Conference on Fair and Progressive Employment Practices this week.
Employers who want to know more about creating fair and inclusive workplaces are encouraged to contact
