Dear Boss: 61% of your staff are ready to walk out the door right now

Singaporeans again top the wanna-be job hoppers poll, remaining the most disloyal employees in Asia.

The recent global poll, by Robert Walters, surveyed more than 2,835 workers.

Participants were asked when they hoped to make their next career move, with answer options ranging from the next 3 months to 3 years. The poll result showed that within the Asia Pacific region, professionals in Singapore were most keen to move in the next 3 months (61% of respondents), followed by Hong Kong (57%), Malaysia (56%), and Thailand (52%).

Andrea Ross, Managing Director at Robert Walters Singapore & Malaysia, says, “These figures indicate that professionals are optimistic about the job market. The challenge will be ensuring that appropriate roles are available, specifically for more niche appointments out there in the market”.

“With so many job-seekers looking to move in the next 3 months, employers are likely to face an increase in staff churn and greater pressure to retain their top talent.” The poll also revealed that amongst respondents from Singapore, 24% are hoping to move jobs in the next 3-6 months, 7% of respondents are hoping to move in the next 6-12 months, and 8% are looking to move in 12-18 months.

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.
