Our Productivity Story

Which company is most productive? We leave it to you to decide.

Singled out as one of the 12 key sectors that the Government will be focusing its productivity efforts on, the tourism sector is certainly not sitting on its laurels. As a sector that contributes a significant share to GDP and employing a large number of workers, it is important that it continues to flourish in a sustainable manner.

Hence, the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) is supporting the Pacific Asia Travel Association’s (PATA) “Our Productivity Story” competition.

The annual competition received a total of 58 submissions from companies and six finalists have emerged after a intensive qualifying round.

Following the pre-event seminar where the judges have cast their votes, the deciding factor is now in your hands. The finalists have each produced a short video on their productivity stories and PATA has posted it on YouTube for all to vote for the best story. Voters also stand a chance to win an Apple iPad2.
