Talent availability emerges as a top concern amongst senior executives

Only 30% of organisations are prepared to respond to a dearth of talent.

The power of employees has rapidly grown in the Singapore market to the extent that senior executives now consider talent availability as the top threat to organisational health.

A study by research firm Russell Reynolds Associates said executives are more concerned over unprecedented developments of employee engagement and retention strategies than changes in consumer behaviour and geopolitical uncertainty.

The number of executives who cited that employee engagement is the top concern of business rose 60 percentile points from the previous year.

Whilst talent availability is a top concern amongst organisations, only 30% are prepared to respond to a dearth of talent and skills availability.

To create the trust needed to attract and retain a competent workforce equipped with the desired and necessary skill sets, organisations are bridging divides between top leadership and frontline employees.

Singapore talent crunch

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.
