Responsibilities
Ever tried to get a government service done and felt like it wasn’t built for certain demographic profiles? We feel you. That’s exactly what we’re working on.
The operating environment of the Public Service is undergoing fundamental and rapid change. The issues we face are complex and multi‑faceted, which impact the way the Public Service operates and organises itself. Internally, the changes in workforce profile have necessitated a new approach in how the workplace is designed, while the pervasiveness of technology has fundamentally changed the way we conduct our business.
To prepare the Public Service for these changes, we have begun the journey towards Public Sector Transformation. We seek to continually transform the Public Service to better serve Singaporeans. We do this by championing Public Sector innovation, transforming citizen and business service delivery, building a future workplace, and supporting transformation efforts in the Ministries and Statutory Boards. At ServiceSG, we want citizens to easily and seamlessly interact with government services, with the experience of “Knowing you as one, Serving you as one, and with Heart”.
