4 in 5 young employees would pursue overseas remote jobs

For older generations, the appetite for overseas jobs however isn’t as attractive.

Four in five employees aged 18 to 24 are open to taking on overseas jobs that can be performed remotely in Singapore, Randstad’s H2 2021 Workmonitor survey showed.

The appetite for overseas remote jobs however was only seen in half of the employees surveyed that were aged 55 to 67.

According to Jaya Dass, managing director for Randstad Singapore, the reason why younger generations are more attracted to internal remote jobs than older generations is that the former grew up in a globalised world and embraces the rewards and challenges of cultural exchanges.

“Furthermore, in the early stages of their careers and lives, they want to explore as many opportunities as they can before settling down permanently,” Dass added.

To respond to employees’ desire for global exposure, Dass said companies can look to offer their employees job rotations, overseas deployments, or participation in regional and global projects.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
