The Ministry of Manpower (Abbreviation: MOM; Malay: Kementerian Tenaga Manusia; Chinese: 新加坡人力部) is a ministry of the Government of Singapore which is responsible for the formulation and implementation of labour policies related to the workforce in Singapore. The ministry oversees matters related to immigration, issue of Employment Pass (EP) to foreign talents,^[3] student pass, passport, visa, grant of residency/citizenship etc. The Ministry was known as Ministry of Labour until 1998.

Mission

To develop a productive workforce and progressive workplaces, for Singaporeans to have better jobs and a secure retirement.^[4]

Vision

Ministry of Manpower's vision of "A Great Workforce. A Great Workplace" serves to reflect the shared aspirations of MOMers for their ministry as an organisation. It also represents the aspiration of MOM to achieve "A Great Workforce and a Great Workplace" for Singapore.

"A Great Workforce. A Great Workplace" are presented as a pairing, because MOM sees the workplace as the container for human capital. Human capital realises its potential and creates value not in a vacuum but most often in organisational settings. The setting plays a critical part in determining whether individual talent is developed and potential realised, or remains latent and untapped.

MOM claims its vision embodies the aspirations of lifelong learning and the need for Singaporeans to adapt, learn and re-learn skills, attitudes and competencies for lifelong competitiveness and employability, in order to cope effectively with the demands of the changing economic environment; it also emphasizes the empowerment of people to create their own desired future. This involves capacity development, both individually through adult training and development, and collectively in teams, organisations and nationally.
