GVG’s 1st ever Townhall and we have our own shirt now 🙌🏻 It was an insightful event that was well-thought and organised by the Deputy Directors 💯 Few highlights that include Fireside chat where we had the pleasure to hear more from two GVG leaders, Icebreaker session (GVG edition of Bingo) where we discover more about our colleagues and last but not least, the Divisional sharing by the directors on the topic of Governance and the work we do in GVG. Exciting times ahead! Some key takeaways: 1. Always keep an open mind to new ideas and opportunities, be curious 🧐 2. Taking ownership of your work and knowing the value you deliver. Knowing the WHY is key 👍🏼 3. Governance is an art and requires practioners to strike a balance. I specifically like the analogy shared, where we decide how many traffic lights to install on the road, while managing the balance between allowing smooth traffic flow and ensuring road safety. 🚦 Also, Hello to all the new colleagues 👋🏻 and Happiest birthdays to all July babies! 🥳 Can you also spot the “GVG” in the cake arrangement? 🤗 What a wonderful session! #governance GovTech Singapore Lim Thian Chin 🇸🇬 Mark Chan Zhenfa Ng Koh Sook Bing Adrian Goh

Years ago, I embarked on a journey to explore a troubling phenomenon that I had observed affecting two close male friends. Little did I know, as I delved into writing a university essay on the subject, that there existed a term for it: parental alienation. This insidious practice occurs when one parent undermines the relationship between their children and the other parent (and extended family!), often in the aftermath of separation or divorce. Despite being well-documented, parental alienation remains poorly understood as a form of domestic abuse. For professionals in the legal, psychological, and mental health fields, as well as those working within child services and the court system, this is an invaluable opportunity to deepen understanding of psychological manipulation. Leading experts on the subject will converge in Oslo from September 4th to 6th, 2024, shedding light on this critical societal problem.

Has your company signed the Disability Employment Charter? Disabled people continue to experience significant labour market disadvantages, including a near 30% disability employment gap, and a 14% pay gap. EVERYONE has the right to work. The Charter urges the government to adopt measures in nine crucial areas, such as mandatory reporting of disability employment and pay gaps; reforms to Access to Work and Disability Confident programs; utilisation of government procurement processes; and improved access to reasonable adjustments. The founding members of the Charter believe that implementing these proposals will not only aid disabled individuals but also assist employers in overcoming labour and skills shortages.
