The results are in, and I am not surprised by the outcome! Last week I asked an audience of up to 100 in Singapore, what are deal breakers when it comes to accepting a job offer?
⭐ 36% said culture, management and values.
⭐ 30% said flexibility & annual leave.
⭐ 20% said money, bonus and benefits.
⭐ 14% said career progression & satisfaction.
We have ultimately noticed a huge shift in the market when it comes to candidates accepting job offers - they are complex and all aspects of an organisation are considered.
It’s not to say the last 2 factors about money and career progression are not important (they are clearly to some), but the trends suggest that companies should ensure that employees are satisfied with the current culture and flexibility they are offering. This leads to engaging new and retaining existing employees. The results also suggest that employees are looking for stability and consistency within an organisation.
Finally, employees are ultimately looking out for themselves more closely, and are potentially willing to sacrifice some career growth for a better culture and more flexibility.
We have asked our other markets in the UK, Dubai & the US the same question, so looking forward to analysing other markets vs. APAC!
Working well with others is the blueprint.
