Bye, boss: Over 3 out of 10 senior managers all set to go job-hopping this year

Another 54% are also mulling other opportunities.

Local employees may soon have to bid their bosses goodbye. A survey released today by the MRIC Group and Ipsos revealed that 33% of senior managers in Singapore are ‘definitely’ going to go job-hopping this year, up 4% from just 29% last year.

This is higher than the 26% recorded in Hong Kong, 21% reported in China and 20% in Taiwan.

Over half or 54% of Singaporean managers will decide depending on opportunities, while 13% say that they will not look for another job.

“The job hopping trend in Singapore contrasts with Hong Kong and China, where moreprofessionals intend to stay with their employer compared to 2014. Interestingly, intentions to relocate are stable, which implies a challenging local job market in the coming months” comments JB Aloy, Senior Vice President with Ipsos.

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.
