THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: As a business leader and and employer, how would you approach retrenchment? How can unions and companies work together to ensure affected workers are treated fairly and with dignity?

Retrenchment must be seen as the last resort, and for PwC, our foremost priority is to protect jobs and livelihoods of our 3,500 staff in Singapore.
