Job satisfaction might not be sufficient to retain employees

Four in 10 employees plan to switch jobs.

Satisfaction at work isn’t always enough to prevent employees from leaving, ManpowerGroup data suggests.

In a report, ManpowerGroup revealed that six in 10 Singaporeans are satisfied with their jobs, yet 41% are still considering a job change within six months.

Factors likely influencing their decision to leave include daily stress, reported by 48% of employees, and insufficient opportunities for career growth, cited by 21%.

The lack of career opportunities was most prominent among white-collar workers, with 32% reporting limited advancement opportunities within their organizations.

Although 67% of workers believe their organization offers skill-building opportunities, only 44% received training and 41% received mentoring in the last six months.

Meanwhile, the report also found that well-being and work-life balance alone are insufficient, with 43% of hybrid workers still contemplating a job switch.

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.
