A diverse range of training courses, job rotation opportunities and attachment programmes, including to the private and people sectors.

Care for your well-being
We encourage a strong culture of care and support across the Public Service. Benefit from support for your physical and mental well-being, with our employee wellness programmes, workshops and counselling services.
Balance your work-life priorities with flexible work arrangements. These include flexi-load (e.g. part time), flexi-place (e.g. telecommuting) and flexi-time (e.g. staggered hours), subject to the operational requirements of the role and public agency. A network of co-working spaces around Singapore is also available for public officers to use.
Fair and market-competitive salaries
We pay salaries comparable to that of the private sector for employees with similar competencies and responsibilities.
Bonuses and increments are performance-based. Annual packages include monthly and annual salary components. Some agencies provide additional remuneration based on the unique nature or requirements of the job. Vital contributions are also acknowledged through recognition awards.
Leave benefits
Public officers have a wide range of leave benefits for personal and family needs.
These include leave for vacation, study, volunteering, marriage, maternity and paternity, child care and parent care, medical, and more.
Medical and dental benefits
The Public Service makes additional contributions to public officers' MediSave accounts, on top of the normal statutory MediSave contributions. Public officers can use this to buy MediShield or portable MediSave-approved insurance plans to cover their inpatient needs. This ensures continued medical coverage for public officers even after they leave Service.
Voluntary Group Insurance Scheme
Public officers can tap on preferential premium rates when buying term insurance coverage for themselves and their dependents under the Public Officers Group Insurance Scheme (POGIS).
POGIS provides coverage for death, total and partial permanent disablement, with optional add-ons for critical illness, early critical illness, and extended years coverage.
