ABOUT P-MAX
                    Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) form 99% of all enterprises in Singapore. In
                    today’s highly competitive business environment, a critical success factor include the
                    recruitment and retention of talent.

                    P-Max is a programme under the Workforce Singapore’s (WSG) Adapt and Grow
                    initiative that aims to:

                    • Help SMEs to better recruit, train, manage and retain their newly hired Professionals,
                      Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMETs)

                    • Enable SMEs to establish better communication channels between supervisors and
                     staff and to adopt progressive Human Resource (HR) practices (e.g. goals setting,
                     performance management) for newly-hired PMETs within their SMEs

                    • Assist newly hired PMETs to better acclimatise to the new SME work environment and
                     to encourage better retention of PMETs in SMEs

TESTIMONIALS
SME EMPLOYER
   The HR toolkit was especially useful in demonstrating to us
   how a simple but formalized system of effective
   goalsetting can assist in quicker on-boarding of a
   new hire. We noticed that with a more developed learning
   path, our new hires could understand their job roles and
   performance indicators quicker, especially through
   meaningful interaction during the structured monthly
   reviews with their supervisor. It has helped us train an
   employee who could be more independent and
   self-driven to achieve their set KPIs.

                                              Ms Luann Leong
                                Business Development Manager
                                         Ferrara Asiapac Pte Ltd

PMET
   The P-Max workshop introduced me to the DISC
   Personality test, which gave me a better understanding of
   mine and my supervisor's working and communication
   style. This allowed for better synergy at work! Setting of
   KPIs with my supervisor also helped me to focus and
   zoom in on my core job scope, allowing me to prioritise
   my time at work and continually improve along the way.
