The Public Service Division (PSD) says GovTech’s restructuring is not part of a wider, across-the-board effort affecting the wider public service. The PSD statement responds to GovTech’s announcement that it is restructuring and retrenching staff. GovTech said the restructuring involves cutting 93 employees and was announced on July 15. PSD adds that significant restructuring is carried out only when needed, such as in response to fundamental changes in an agency’s operating environment, mission, or operating model. The PSD position indicates that GovTech’s measures are intended to be specific to GovTech’s own circumstances, rather than reflecting a coordinated plan to restructure other public service agencies. Overall, the reporting aligns on the timing and scale of GovTech’s retrenchments and on PSD’s principle that major restructuring is undertaken selectively, rather than broadly. The information presented does not indicate that other agencies are being reshaped under the same restructuring exercise.
