uParcel Earns Progressive Wage Mark Plus for the Third Consecutive Year
uParcel is proud to announce that we have been awarded the Progressive Wage (PW) Mark Plus for the third year running. The PW Mark Plus is the highest tier of a national accreditation scheme that recognises employers who pay progressive wages to lower-wage workers and go further to advance their well-being. Earning it once is meaningful; sustaining it across three consecutive years reflects a deliberate, ongoing investment in our workforce. It is an accreditation that remains uncommon. Only around 1% of all organisations in Singapore hold the PW Mark Plus, placing uParcel among a small group of employers formally recognised for fair and forward-looking employment practices. What the Progressive Wage Mark Is The PW Mark is administered by the Singapore Business Federation on behalf of the Tripartite Partners — the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF). It was introduced as part of a national effort to uplift the wages and well-being of lower-wage workers, following a key recommendation of the Tripartite Workgroup on Lower-Wage Workers endorsed by the Government in 2021. There are two levels of accreditation. The PW Mark recognises firms that pay progressive wages to eligible local workers and meet the Local Qualifying Salary for all others. The PW Mark Plus — the tier uParcel holds — is conferred on companies that meet those requirements and additionally adopt the Tripartite Standard on Advancing the Well-Being of Lower-Wage Workers (TS-LWW). What PW Mark Plus Requires The TS-LWW sets out a set of progressive workplace practices that go beyond pay. To qualify, employers commit to measures such as: Meeting Progressive Wage Model training requirements and establishing clear training plans and career pathways for lower-wage workers Recognising skills and proficiency in hiring, assessment and promotion decisions Providing time-off and support for workers to pursue training, without detriment to them Building workplace safety and health capability, including attaining bizSAFE Level 2 and offering a workplace health programme Ensuring proper, reasonable rest areas — with access to drinking water and a means to safekeep belongings — for workers on the premises Together, these practices are designed to extend workers' productive longevity, deepen their skills and give them the dignity and respect every individual deserves. Why It Matters to uParcel As a last-mile delivery and logistics enabler, our service depends on the people on the ground every day. Holding the PW Mark Plus for a third consecutive year signals that fair wages, training and a safe, supportive workplace are not one-off initiatives at uParcel but a standard we hold ourselves to year after year. It also assures the marketplace sellers and partners we serve that they are working with an employer that takes its responsibilities to its workforce seriously. We are grateful to our team, and we remain committed to building on this foundation in the years ahead.
