INTRODUCTION TO THE BREAKTHROUGH AWARD

In line with the changing business landscape, the Breakthrough Award is presented to organisations that demonstrate innovative breakthroughs in their human capital practices.

The Breakthrough Award aims to nurture role models in human capital practices and set the benchmark for other organisations. It hopes to encourage companies to innovate and improve continuously in human capital practices.

AWARD CATEGORIES

To better reflect the various needs of different companies, we will categorise participants into two sectors, large-sized companies and small-sized enterprises.

Small-sized enterprises are companies with an annual turnover of < SGD100 million.

Large-sized companies are companies with an annual turnover > SGD100 million.
