8 in 10 senior leaders to switch jobs in 2 years

They are dissatisfied with their role and have a lack of confidence in their employer.

The majority of senior executives in the Lion City seek to resign from their organisations in the next two years because of dissatisfaction with their job roles and lack of confidence in their employer, a 2022 KellyOCG Global Workforce Report showed.

The study also indicated that like their global counterparts, Singapore firms are not fast enough to push for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as well as support the mental health wellness of their employees.

About 54% of 67 senior managers in the Lion City said DEI strategies only pay lip service to support talent from underrepresented groups but do not provide helpful support in practice.

Whilst only almost two in 10 senior managers confirmed that they have a clear process to report discrimination at work, which is against the global rate of 25% and Asian rate of 27%.

Reacting to this, KellyOCG Chief Tammy Browning said their research also showed that senior leaders demand more from their employers whilst there is talent demand for a life-work shift.

KellyOCG, the outsourcing and consulting business of Kelly, created the report to identify greatest talent woes and risks facing organisations amidst the COVID-19 crisis.

Singaporean senior leaders eye resignation

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.
