SSAs may apply for funding for up to 4 new headcount(s) per Agency to support transformation projects for up to 2 years, depending on the scope of work required.  The projects should clearly help the Agency strengthen corporate capabilities and build organisational resilience in the short term, while facilitating organisational transformation in the mid to longer term. 
 
Potential projects that could be supported include, but are not limited to the following:

1. Digitalisation and Digitisation
2. Human Resource Management and Development
3. Volunteer Management
4. Process Improvement
5. Knowledge Management
6. Leadership Development
7. Strategy
8. Fund-raising and Financial Sustainability
9. Stakeholder Engagement

The TSS will co-fund the new hires’ gross monthly wages, capped at a pay-out of $4,000/month, according to the funding quantum indicated in Table 2 below. The fund is only applicable for new hires (Singaporeans or Permanent Residents) not currently employed by the organisations (i.e. no current employment contract). SSAs are highly encouraged to take this opportunity to recruit individuals from other industries with valuable skillsets and experience that benefit efforts to strengthen organisational practices.

Table 2: Funding from the Transformation Support Scheme

The funding will be provided on a reimbursement basis in June and December during the project duration from 2021 to 2023. SSAs are required to provide relevant documentation, such as payslips indicating the gross monthly salary for the individual(s), and receipts indicating the amounts received from JGI and/or other relevant national schemes.

Please note that the funding is only applicable for 1 to 2 years. After which, SSAs may decide whether to convert the new hire into a permanent headcount and be prepared to support the cost fully.
 

SSAs should apply for the TSS and receive approval before confirming the recruitment of the hire. The funding period for the TSS will commence once the new hire is recruited.
