A survey conducted by recruitment firm Hudson in November shows that many Singaporeans are looking to change jobs this year.
According to the company’s latest 2014 Salary & Employment Insights report, 40 percent of the workers surveyed (1,292 in total) have changed jobs in the last two years while about 71 percent are job hunting.
Said Hudson Singapore’s executive general manager Andrew Tomich, “My feedback to a lot of organisations is that if you look around your room, 71 percent of people you are staring at are actively or passively looking for a new role and of that 71 percent, 87 percent expect to have a new job in the next 12 months. For Singapore, this is a relatively high number.”
Other key findings from the Hudson survey are that 86 percent of Singaporeans are expecting close to 20 percent increase in their pay and that Singaporeans also value things like bonuses and flexible working hours, which is a recent development.
