SINGAPORE – Integrated resort operator Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will be laying off a significant number of staff as it struggles to cope with the impact to tourism brought about by Covid-19.
The Straits Times has contacted RWS to verify the number of staff retrenched.
In a statement on Wednesday (July 15), RWS said it has been streamlining its operational resources to stay agile and respond quickly to situations in the current “unpredictable climate”.
“Over the past few months, we have reviewed all costs, eliminated non-essential spending, and reduced the salaries of management by up to 30 per cent,” said RWS.
“In this latest round of review, we have made the difficult decision to implement a one-off workforce rationalisation. This decision was made after a thorough process of careful deliberation and consultation.”
All affected workers will get “fair compensation”. The vast majority of local staff have also been retained.
RWS said that it fully understands the difficulty and anxiety this means to affected team members and their families.
