   Hardware vs “Heart-ware”: Why Robotics and AI Will Compliment Human Work, Not Reduce It

   In a recent Pivot Point roundtable discussion on whether local employers are really on board workplace and industry transformation, a crucial statistic brought up by moderator Brandon Lee, Chief Futures at Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) caught the eye: in 2026 a MOM report showed that only 4% of employers have seen jobs lost to artificial intelligence (AI), and only 6.2 % of local companies have made any form of headcount reduction due to AI. Yet at the same time, another report by ADP, People at Work 2026 also found that 85% of local workers are insecure about their jobs, and 77% don’t believe their employers will have their best interests when it comes to integrating AI! In addition, a report released by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) also revealed that adoption amongst among small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) rose from 14.5% to 23.4%, while adoption among larger businesses jumped from 62.5% to 70.4% over the same period. Ultimately, artificial intelligence is showing trends that the global labour market in moving towards two opposite directions. In this podcast excerpt from the roundtable, Brandon and the following speakers delve deeper on these trends, what this all means for local workers and employers. They also look at how the latest technologies are simply reshaping jobs for humans, rather than replacing them altogether: •    Kung Teong Wah: Cluster General Manager, PARKROYAL Collection Pickering, Singapore, PARKROYAL on Beach Road;•    Low Peck Kem: Chief Human Resources Officer, Advisor (Workforce Development), Public Service Division (PSD), and the President for Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI) and World Federation of People Management Associations (WFPMA)•    Dr Goh Mong Song: Deputy CEO, Institute of Technical Education (ITE) The trio also share examples —from faster back-office processing and redesigned SOPs in the hospitality sector using automation to raise pay and cut turnover —and argue technology will boost job quality, not just reduce headcount.

   Promotion Burnout: Are Singaporean Women Feeling More 'Sian' About Work and Career?

   McKinsey & Company’s Women in the Workplace report noted recently an “ambition gap” has occurred between male and female workers. In previous editions of the report, men and women were equally likely to seek advancement, and in some years, women were even more likely to do so. However, in the latest findings, women were 6% less likely than men to express interest in a promotion, with the gap widest at entry level roles (11%). Another survey by Robert Walters also found that 54% felt less motivated to pursue promotions than they did two years ago. This trend has led to the term “promotion burnout” being coined, as noted in reports from the Guardian. Are Singaporean women in our workforce also experiencing “Promotion Burnout”? Kritvi Kedia, Associate Partner, McKinsey & Company explained: “The difference appears to be shaped more by workplace experiences than by underlying ambition.” “While this research is based on North America, many of the themes — such as access to career support and progression opportunities — are increasingly relevant in Asia, including Singapore.” She revealed one of the strongest factors linked to this ambition gap is access to sponsorship. Sponsorship — where senior leaders actively advocate for and create opportunities for individuals — significantly increases the likelihood of promotion. Employees with sponsors are about twice as likely to be promoted, regardless of gender, Kritvi added. However, women are less likely to report having consistent sponsorship across career stages, and even when sponsorship exists, it is often perceived as less effective.

   How are Singapore Law Firms Getting AI-ready, and What Skills Do They Need?

   Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a strategic priority across Singapore’s economy, as highlighted by the Prime Minister Lawrence Wong in Budget 2026 as a core driver of national missions. He also announced that efforts to equip white-collar professionals with AI skills will begin with lawyers and accountants—two knowledge-intensive professions under growing manpower strain. This was followed by the Ministry of Law issuing a guide to using generative AI in Singapore’s legal sector. We spoke to Frederick Tay, director at Joyce A. Tan & Partners LLC, to find out how AI is beginning to be included in workflows in the legal sector, what skills are now required, and what does this mean for job redesign for those in the legal industry, and legal- adjacent sectors.
