In an interview with Channel NewsAsia (timestamp: 1:18) and Channel 8 (timestamp: 12:17), our Commercial Director, Edwin Lim shares the important role the Jobs Growth Incentive (JGI) scheme has helped Pacific Logistics Group in the hiring of more local workers. This scheme was crucial and helped PLG to support the increase in operations in light of manpower shortages during the height of the pandemic and inflation.
During the JGI's running period, PLG has also noticed an upward trend of a younger workforce willing to enter the logistics industry as the industry sheds its labour-driven stereotype and moves towards technology and automation. The resilience of the industry during the pandemic has also proven itself to be an additional attractive factor to both the younger workforce and mid-career switchers.
