HR advisory services in Singapore.
MCI Consulting advises employers on employment contracts, Employment Act compliance, workforce planning and government grant applications.
Delivered by MCI Consulting, part of MCI Group of Companies.
Areas of HR advisory work.
HR advisory addresses questions that carry legal or commercial consequences, as distinct from routine administration. These include how a contract should be structured, whether a policy is compliant and defensible, how to plan headcount for the direction of the business, and which government support a company can claim. The service suits companies that manage daily administration internally but have no specialist to consult on such questions.
Most of the work falls into three areas. The first is contracts and policies that comply with the Employment Act and withstand challenge. The second is employment practices aligned with TAFEP's guidelines on fair employment, which also bear on work pass assessments. The third is workforce planning, where the decision is usually whether to hire, outsource or restructure.

Common questions
Which matters does MCI Consulting advise on?
MCI Consulting advises on contract structure, policy compliance, notice and termination, workforce planning and eligibility for government grants.
Is a contract based on a template a problem?
It often is, because a template is written in general terms while the requirements of the Employment Act are specific. A review establishes whether any gap matters for your headcount and sector.
Why does TAFEP matter?
TAFEP's fair employment guidelines set out what is expected of employers, and employment practices also bear on work pass assessments. Aligning practices early costs less than correcting them later.
Which government grants can MCI Consulting help with?
MCI Consulting assists with grants relating to hiring, training and workforce development. Eligibility criteria are specific, so the consultant confirms whether you qualify before any application work begins, then prepares the application with you.
Does MCI Consulting implement its advice?
Yes. Recommendations are accompanied by the contracts, policies or other documents needed to put them into effect.
Can MCI Consulting provide advice and also run the administration?
Yes, as separate services. HR advisory addresses the questions, and operations support and payroll carry out the administration that follows.
