The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) plays a vital role in regulating and safeguarding Singapore’s labour market to ensure fairness, compliance, and stability.
During a disaster or significant disruption, critical functions such as labour market regulation and enforcement must continue with minimal interruption. To achieve this, the organisation must identify the minimum resources required to sustain its operations at alternative recovery locations.
The following table outlines the minimum resources required for each Sub-Critical Business Function (Sub-CBF) under CBF-1 Labour Market Regulation and Enforcement.
These requirements serve as the baseline for maintaining functionality, supporting urgent decision-making, and upholding public trust during a disruption.

Summing Up …
Identifying the minimum resources required during a disaster ensures that MOM can sustain its critical functions under CBF-1 Labour Market Regulation and Enforcement despite disruptions.
By allocating essential staff, facilities, equipment, and systems at designated recovery locations, the Ministry strengthens its ability to respond effectively, maintain labour market stability, and safeguard the rights and responsibilities of all stakeholders.
This resource-based approach ensures MOM remains resilient, continues to meet national labour policy objectives, and upholds public confidence even during times of crisis.
