MNCs offer more flexible working days than local companies: Hays

Only two in 10 MNCs require their workers to report five days a week in the office.

Employees at multinational corporations enjoy greater flexibility in their working days compared to their counterparts at local firms, Hays has found.

Hays reported that only 48.2% of local companies require their workers to report five days a week in the office, whilst only 29.6% of MNCs do the same.

More MNCs also have a 3-day (32.6%) and 2-day (13.6%) on-site work arrangement compared to local companies (22.9%, 5.2%).

“When crafting a compelling employee value proposition or engaging in discussions about flexible working arrangements to attract and retain valuable candidates, it's vital to consider factors beyond just offering flexible working options,” said John Borneman, Regional Director, Hays Singapore.

“Supportive managers and career growth potential are also important for candidates in Singapore who seek connections they can trust and opportunities for career development,” Borneman said.

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.
