陈振声吁勿艰难时刻解雇员工 业者哭诉人力部提不同建议

由于近期受到武汉冠状病毒(COVID-19)疫情的打击,贸工部长陈振声建议业者和他的基层领导们勿在艰难时刻解雇员工,同时也应遵循政府建议,加以培训员工。

陈振声上周与新加坡中华总商会(SCCCI)以及新加坡商业人士举办闭门会议中表示,“趁现在仍然有能力时,能不能先不立即解雇工人,而是接受政府建议训练员工,利用一些机会协助员工待在下来,以为下一阶段做准备。”

他也补充,“如果你立即解雇员工,我们可能会再次陷入困境。”

与会者哭诉不想炒员工

上周,政府指出未来数个月内,将会出现普遍放缓的情况,预期对相关行业和公司产生连锁反应,因此政府准备支持相关行业公司与员工。

其支持措施包括协助公司留住与培训员工,并承担部分工资费用。

而根据疑是在会议现场的录音,现场其中一位与会者提出疑问,她表示,虽然很同意陈振声这一番话,但她也在此前曾拜访过人力部,却也听到不同的建议。

她强调,人力部称,若她无法保留员工,就应该让他们走。“我并不想解雇我的员工,但人力部却要求我解雇他们”,她含泪说着。

陈振声则表示,人们必须随着现况改变其商业模式,使其更具多元化。

“如果你不想改变也不多样化,即使得到我们的相助,我们也无法替你解决下一次的问题。我们可以保证会给予你协助,但同时你也需要提升自己。”

企业必须学会“多元化”

陈振声也进一步阐述,企业必须尽快学会“多元化”,“因为它影响你、我以及所有人。”

举例而言,旅游业市场本应可以获得更快的增长,然而,他表示,“许多旅客正排着队要来新加坡,但我告诉旅游局(STB)不应将放入境。”

他续指,如今人次已非重点,也不会让中国、印尼、印度等旅客人次超过20巴仙。他称,他不想让新加坡旅游业被中国所“挟持”。因此他敦促基层领导应在提供更多协助。

另外,陈振声也表示,目前人们应该将焦点放在如何调整生意与经济的定位,能够在疫情结束后,比其他国家更快恢复。

2003年SARS疫情

他以2003年SARS疫情为例,大多数国家疫情爆发时,仅想得到对抗疫情,然而却忽略了疫情恢复后的日子。

因此,他表示,新加坡当时就已经将自己定位在“恢复最快”的国家,也就是为什么新加坡当时在SARS疫情结束后,其增长率达14.5巴仙,而其他国家则出现大幅度下滑。

陈振声解释,“这是因为当我们在处理眼下情况时,也应该确保我们须有后路可走。”

为此,部长表示将在今日(18日)提出2020年财政预算案,政府将提供帮助,以稳定目前局势,并支持人们与企业目前所面临的挑战。

不过预算案也包含另一套计划,以协助企业渡过新型冠状病毒。
