More than six in 10 SG employees prioritise job stability, work-life balance

61% would decline a job offer if they experienced a negative recruitment process.

More than six in 10 Singaporean employees said that they prioritise having a stable job with a good work-life balance, the highest in Southeast Asia and globally, according to a Jobstreet survey.

The survey, which polled 3,260 respondents from the city-state, also found that joining a good company (59%) and exploring new professions through reskilling (34%) ranked second and third, respectively.

Moreover, a majority (64%) favoured a full-time five-day work week, whilst 27% preferred working part-time only 5% wanted to work more than full-time.

However, 61% said they would decline a job offer if they experienced a negative recruitment process.

Additionally, companies that do not offer mental health support (37%) and work-from-home options (31%) are also deal breakers.

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.
