Employers now have more resources to help them fortify the business in an increasingly complex business environment, by bolstering workforce resilience.
TalentTrack & TalentTrack+, launched by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) on August 18, are designed to support employers in identifying their skills needs, and taking a skills-first approach to hiring and upskilling. Chrysalis, a self-help digital workplace learning resource platform, was also unveiled on August 18 at the same event – the SkillsFuture Human Capital Conference, by Singapore Business Federation (SBF), and National Centre of Excellence for Workplace Learning at Singapore Polytechnic (NACE@SP).
These free-to-use digital workforce planning tools can be accessed through the GoBusiness Dashboard.
TalentTrack provides employers with an overview of the key skills for their industry, as well as training course recommendations tailored to their industry and business focus.
TalentTrack+, comprising a suite of commercial human resources technology (HRTech) tools, is targeted at employers seeking hyper-personalised insights into their workforce, at the individual-employee level, with employee consent. With the integration of the TalentTrack+ HRTech tools into the Career and Skills Passport, the tech tools can analyse each employee’s existing skills, identify skills gaps, and provide personalised training recommendations for them.
To help companies build and scale their workplace learning capabilities, NACE@SP and SSG launched Chrysalis, a free digital platform that consolidates and offers accessible, ready-to-use workplace learning resources; they include On-the-Job (OJT) blueprints, a Learning Needs Analysis Playbook and related toolkits, and micro-learning modules.
Companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, can access these resources to adopt workplace learning and foster workforce agility. The first phase of Chrysalis is in operation.
“For workplace learning to thrive in Singapore, it must be easy to start, simple to scale, and customisable to business needs,” said Mr Tan Jek Min, Director, NACE@SP. “Chrysalis is our way of accelerating this momentum, giving companies direct and convenient access to ready-to-use tools and resources. By lowering barriers to action, we help businesses build an agile and competitive workforce, while making workplace learning an integral part of their culture.”
In line with SSG’s commitment to build a network of partners to support companies in their workforce development efforts, SSG has appointed SBF as the latest Skills Development Partner (SDP). SBF will work with the industry to identify emerging skills, co-develop training solutions, and promote skills recognition through structured, skills-based career pathways.
SBF will focus on skills in two strategic domains, namely, Green Economy, and Trade, Investment and Internationalisation, which are key for companies to navigate today’s economic uncertainties and remain competitive.
SBF is the newest addition to the stable of SSG-appointed SDPs, which have collectively supported more than 1,000 enterprises and 2,200 individuals in skills development through SSG-supported programmes between April 2023 and March 2025.
“As Singapore charts its path towards a more sustainable and globally connected economy, workforce transformation must keep pace,” said Mr Kok Ping Soon, Chief Executive Officer, SBF. Being appointed an SDP “complements SBF’s role in enabling businesses to be sustainability-centric and international through programmes such as the Cost and Carbon Reduction Programme (CCRP) and GlobalConnect”.
