Singapore demonstrated its commitment to workplace equity by the tabling of the Workplace Fairness Legislation in Parliament last week. 

The legislation will be introduced through two Bills, with the second one slated to be tabled next year. This move aims to address workplace discrimination and promote inclusivity. 

Experts applauded this initiative in a recent South China Morning Post news article, although some argue that the proposed law still has gaps.

Iris Lew, DecodeHR's senior engagement manager, stressed that true change requires more than legal compliance. Businesses must embed fairness into their workplace culture to foster a truly inclusive and supportive environment. 

She noted that workplace fairness has gained momentum in the region and believes more countries will follow suit.
