Executives plan to increase productivity in the Philippines: survey

They plan to do the same in Singapore.

Corporate Executive Board released Executive Guidance for 2013 – an annual survey of global business leaders which looks at how companies are innovating for corporate growth in a low-growth environment.

The survey revealed that executives around the globe are asking for a 20% jump in performance in 2013 and Asian executives are asking for a 29% jump on average from their employees.

Key Highlights
· The majority of executives surveyed believe revenues will increase in the coming year (59%), but they anticipate continued pressure to lower costs (67%).
· Profitable growth will continue to put pressure on employees to be more efficient—only 32% of executives plan to increase head count despite optimism around revenue.
· On average, global executives believe they will need a 20% improvement in performance over and above current levels in order to meet their business objectives.

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.
