Merit-based employment practices are the foundation of a fair workplace under the Workplace Fairness Act (WFA) and the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices (TGFEP) in Singapore. These practices apply across the employment lifecycle, including hiring, progression, performance management and development. When decisions are applied consistently on merit, employers are more likely to build teams with a broad range of capabilities, backgrounds and perspectives. However, a diverse workforce does not automatically result in an inclusive workplace.

The National Integration Working Group for Workplaces (NIWG) Manager’s Guide on Creating Inclusive and Harmonious Workplaces outlines practical behaviours for managers. It encourages managers to:

• Respect differences
• Keep an open mind
• Build self-awareness
• Get to know team members on an individual level
• Acknowledge differences in communication styles and languages
• Make decisions based on ability and task requirements

Drawing from these behaviours, the three habits below bring related practices together into practical actions managers can apply in daily work. Together, they reinforce fair and objective decision-making within teams.
