Singapore’s government technology agency, GovTech, has eliminated 93 positions in the initial stage of a wider restructuring effort.
The cuts mark the beginning of a two-year transition to a new operating model, with the agency projecting a total workforce reduction of 7 to 9 percent, or approximately 300 employees, by the end of the period.
The move aligns with a broader trend of consolidation and efficiency drives within the technology and professional services sectors.
Recent reports indicate that technology services firm Genpact is set to eliminate approximately 90 positions at its Irish operations, while Oracle disclosed to regulators that it cut roughly 21,000 jobs globally over the past year as part of its pivot toward artificial intelligence.
GovTech’s restructuring reflects a strategic shift in how public sector digital services are delivered, likely involving automation and process optimization.
The agency has not specified which departments or roles are most affected by the initial 93 job cuts, but the phased approach suggests a deliberate effort to manage the transition while maintaining service continuity.
