9 things that matter to Singapore talents

High salary can only make them stay up to a point.

Today, talented individuals have a choice of where and how they work. In a recent survey released by Kelly Services Singapore, the consulting firm found that while a high number of the Singapore workforce considers salary, benefits, and financial incentives as the top most attractive trait of employers, work-life balance follows closely behind.

70% of talent in Singapore see flexible work arrangements as positively impacting work-life balance. Flexible arrangements include non-traditional schedules or the ability to telecommute. The results for Singapore exceed global average of 63%.

To attract and retain the best people, Kelly Services suggest employers must do more than offer traditional inducements such as competitive salaries and linear
career paths. "Workers are increasingly looking to “design” the perfect balance between their personal and professional lives – and having a boss who will support them is now an important differentiator in their employment choice," it said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
