Dear Boss: 61% of your staff are ready to walk out the door right now

Singaporeans again top the wanna-be job hoppers poll, remaining the most disloyal employees in Asia.

The recent global poll, by Robert Walters, surveyed more than 2,835 workers.

Participants were asked when they hoped to make their next career move, with answer options ranging from the next 3 months to 3 years. The poll result showed that within the Asia Pacific region, professionals in Singapore were most keen to move in the next 3 months (61% of respondents), followed by Hong Kong (57%), Malaysia (56%), and Thailand (52%).

Andrea Ross, Managing Director at Robert Walters Singapore & Malaysia, says, “These figures indicate that professionals are optimistic about the job market. The challenge will be ensuring that appropriate roles are available, specifically for more niche appointments out there in the market”.

“With so many job-seekers looking to move in the next 3 months, employers are likely to face an increase in staff churn and greater pressure to retain their top talent.” The poll also revealed that amongst respondents from Singapore, 24% are hoping to move jobs in the next 3-6 months, 7% of respondents are hoping to move in the next 6-12 months, and 8% are looking to move in 12-18 months.

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.
