More than 7 in 10 workers fear their jobs will be replaced by tech

But the majority said adopting tech is needed to future-proof their business.

A whopping 76% of Malaysian and Singaporean employees polled are worried that their jobs will be replaced by technology, Employment Hero showed in its study.

With over 300 workers in the professional industry polled, more than eight in 10 said they find adopting disruptive tech is needed to future-proof their business and clients.

All those who were polled said they are using one type of client-servicing software.

When it comes to payroll, respondents said their main challenges are manual or paper-based processes taking up too much time (22%), unique payroll scenarios (22%), and chasing clients for payroll data (22%).

When it comes to the perception of payroll as a service, responses are lukewarm and split between two camps, with 17% of practitioners thinking that payroll services drive additional revenue, 15% who think payroll services are not profitable.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
