Almost 2 in 5 Singaporeans not expecting a salary raise

But 7 in 10 are expecting a year-end bonus.

A slow global economy and restructuring industries have not dampened the expectations of employees in Singapore.

According to the latest global Randstad Workmonitor report, confidence levels of Singapore employees around securing a year-end bonus and salary raise is much higher than the global average.

Singapore employees expressed a higher confidence around securing a year-end bonus, with a positive expectation of 68%, compared to only 58% expecting a salary raise. Singapore women (73%) were much more confident than men (63%) about getting a bonus.

Global average on bonus expectation is 49% and 53% on salary raise.

Where Millennials are concerned (respondents aged 18 to 34), 71% expected a salary increase compared to only 51% of their older peers, aged between 35 and 54.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
