We just have to take a look around us to realise that there are individuals who have been left behind while Singapore progressed over the years. They are our everyday heroes, who often work behind the scenes, and whose wages have been stagnant in an old time zone while the cost of living continues

to go up. Many of them are also not motivated to up-skill

 as there are currently no clear links between skills and wages

The Progressive Wage Model centers around helping workers earn better wages through skills upgrading and productivity.  At the same time, PWM also helps companies to attract, retain and make better use of every worker. Another plus point, the PWM model works for all workers: from the low wage workers to Professionals, Managers and Executives in a wide spectrum of industries, with the aim to improve their job prospects and incomes.

There are 4 key components in PWM: Salary Progression; Skills Upgrading; Career Advancement; and Productivity Improvement.

NTUC conducted an animation and video competition on how the progressive Wage Model helps low wage workers in Singapore.

So we decided to tell an explainer video story through a man named John, who is a cleaner and a security guard and yet have not enough money to pay for his bills. But with PWM, he is able to pay off his bills.
