Shift From Output to Job Re-Design to
Increase Emphasis on
Outcome-Based Weave in Technology
Systems Category
Assessment for Productivity
• Weightage for the • Reduce reliance on • Job Re-Design to
Systems category output-based cater to general
will be increased criteria profile of SOs
• Weightages for the • More stringent • Weaving in of
rest will be requirement and technology in the
correspondingly assessment security processes
reduced • Increase outcome- to enhance
• Renamed ‘Systems based criteria with productivity
& Technology’ to greater weightage
reflect growing
emphasis on
technology

(For Industry’s Feedback)

Adherence to Baseline Industry Standards

• IMDA endorsed technology solutions to be taken as baseline industry
standards
• SAs which adopt these solutions (subject to ground verification) need not
explain how the solutions had resulted in manpower savings
Adoption of Technology - On-site Verification
• For non-IMDA endorsed solutions, SAs will still need to explain how
manpower savings were derived
• PLRD will also shift from write-up assessment only to ground verification
of actual deployment
SAGE 2020 and Beyond - Possible Changes
(For Industry’s Feedback)

2-year’s validity of ‘A’ Grade from SAGE 2020

PLRD is considering granting an SA an ‘A’ Grade valid for 2 years from
SAGE 2020 if:
 the SA had attained an ‘A’ Grade in SAGE 2018, 2019, and 2020; and
 the SA had adopted a technology solution specified by PLRD
 MESSAGE FROM MOM GRADING TEAM

• SAs can write to MOM via email (SA_grading@mom.gov.sg )

if they have feedback on MOM’s assessment criteria
