What social contribution or volunteering work has Prataman did since his HUGE pay increase?
President S R Nathan has been conferred the title of ‘Fellow’ by the Singapore Association of Social Workers (SASW) for his significant contributions to the social work profession and to society at large.
This was the highlight at the annual Social Workers' Day dinner celebrations which was attended by more than 600 social workers.
Mr Nathan also launched a commemorative book entitled ‘A World to Change: Inspiring Lives in Social Work’. The book documents real-life stories of social workers in the past 50 years.
At the event, SASW also revealed that in a survey of 80 social workers, two-thirds received a higher pay, thanks to increased funding from the Community Development, Youth and Sports Ministry in 2007.
The average pay increase was about S$230. The remaining 33 per cent said their agencies had either not implemented any pay increase or did so selectively.
The survey respondents added that a competitive salary is important in attracting and retaining talent.
