Competitive Salaries and Benefits
Since September 2022, the Progressive Wage Model (PWM) was implemented to provide a clear career progression path for workers in low-wage sectors, including retail. The PWM encourages workers to invest in training and skills upgrading, leading to improved productivity and service quality. This in turn helps retail workers get paid more as they get better at their jobs. The Singapore Institute of Retail Studies (SIRS) offers the specific PWM training programs, and together with Fastjobs.sg, offer job search support.
