Q:Imagine you are one of these older workers. You have been invited by the Manpower Ministry to give a short speech to a group of local businesses to a group of local businesses to encourage older workers. Write the speech that you will deliver.
Hello everybody. Thank you for taking time off your busy schedule to attend my talk today.
I am Peter Tan and I am in my sixties. I have been able to find employment after my retirement all thanks to the Re-Employ Senior Worker Scheme organised by the Manpower Minstry.
It is a programme where rebates are given to companies which re-employ retired workers. Thus I have been able to start working again, and able to support my family of 5 and see my 3 children through tertiary education.In this difficult time as we are facing economical crisis, my job is a godsend. Due to my many years of experience in the production line, I have been able to contribute positively to my company. I am also put in charge of training the younger generations. It is a win-win situation. The company gains and so do I, financially. If not for the rehiring programme, I would not be able to stand here and share with you the success of the programme.I am very thankful. I urge all companies to re-employ older retired workers, thus providing them with job opportunities. The companies are also contributing to the workers well-being and keeping their minds active. In this difficult time, the rebates from the Manpower Minstry will be an added advantage if companies re-employ their retired workers. The companies are keeping up with their social responsibility by supporting this scheme. All re-employed workers are very thankful that they are still useful and can contribute to Singapore's economy.
The Manpower Ministry is also encouraging companies to make their jobs more age-friendly by offering a host of benefits .In this instance, company which modify their facilities or job scope to cater to older workers will get several rebates. All these are music to silver workers like me as I would want to work for as long as I could. Please give your full support to these programmes. Many older workers like me are thankful that we are mentally active and have a job.
Thank you .

ReplyDeleteI like this talk very much, Max. Your speech is very persuasive. If I am one of the older workers, after listening to this talk, I would surely want to go back into the workforce right now. It really covers up all the main points from the thoughts of the businessmen and also the older workers themselves! Great job!
