Why Singapore SMBs need agentic workforce?

According to the National Business Survey conducted by the Singapore Business Federation, the top challenges perennially faced by Singapore businesses are all manpower related, namely: 

  • Increase in business costs in an inflationary environment, of which wages constitute a significant proportion
  • Availability of manpower in resource-constrained Singapore where our only asset is human talent
  • Retention of manpower, particularly among millennials and Gen Z who may have different career aspirations
  • Prevailing foreign worker policies as businesses struggle to find Singaporean workers who are willing and able to take on the available roles

Against this backdrop, Singapore companies need to invest in technology to automate the mundane, menial tasks so that they can do more with less. Specifically, by investing in AI agents, companies can now address these perennial manpower challenges head-on while building resilience and agility for the future.
