97% of Singapore employers demand better performance from employees

But average bonus levels stayed low.

According to a new survey conducted by global professional services company Towers Watson, in today’s volatile global economy, where organisations face intense pressure to rein in cost while driving performance, it is not surprising that organisations are expecting higher levels of performance from their employees.

However, the survey revealed that rewards have not kept pace with higher performance expectations – with 96% of employers indicating that individual performance expectations have increased or stayed the same but the average bonus level – as a percentage of on-target – was at 79% for the most recently completed fiscal year (2011) and is projected to drop to 76% for the current fiscal year.

The disparity is greater among companies from Singapore, with 97% of employers indicating that individual performance expectations have increased or stayed the same but the average bonus level – as a percentage of on-target – was at 72% for the most recently completed fiscal year and is projected to remain at this level for the current fiscal year.

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.
