Nearly 9 in 10 Singapore employees anticipate pay hikes by next year

How much are they expecting?

In a release, global talent solutions company Hudson announced the findings of their annual Singapore remuneration report Salary & Employment Insights 2014.

According to the report, salary expectations are the other key driver affecting the big increase in intentions for employees to change jobs. 86.0% (nearly 9 in 10) of employees expect an increase in salary next year, with 19.4% wanting an increase in excess of 10%.

Salary is clearly the most influential factor when looking for a new job, with 43.3% citing it as the most important aspect, followed by working for an organisation with values the employee believes in (10.3%).

Salary is also a major influencing factor when an employee is deciding whether to stay in their current role for the next 12 months, with 30.7% citing increased salary/benefits as most important, behind a clear career path, and prospect of promotion (36.9%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
