Nearly 9 in 10 Singapore employees anticipate pay hikes by next year

How much are they expecting?

In a release, global talent solutions company Hudson announced the findings of their annual Singapore remuneration report Salary & Employment Insights 2014.

According to the report, salary expectations are the other key driver affecting the big increase in intentions for employees to change jobs. 86.0% (nearly 9 in 10) of employees expect an increase in salary next year, with 19.4% wanting an increase in excess of 10%.

Salary is clearly the most influential factor when looking for a new job, with 43.3% citing it as the most important aspect, followed by working for an organisation with values the employee believes in (10.3%).

Salary is also a major influencing factor when an employee is deciding whether to stay in their current role for the next 12 months, with 30.7% citing increased salary/benefits as most important, behind a clear career path, and prospect of promotion (36.9%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
