Millennial employees actively gunning for promotions, salary hikes

They’re also less satisfied with their jobs.

Singaporean millennials are more upfront about asking for promotions and salary hikes compared to their older counterparts, a survey by Accenture revealed today.

The survey showed that 63% of Singapore respondents have never asked for a promotion, and more than half or 58% have never asked for or negotiated a pay raise.

Globally, 68% of millennials asked for a raise while 59% asked for a promotion. This is higher than their Gen X counterparts--only 64% of Gen X employees asked for a raise, while only 52% asked for a promotion.

Job satisfaction in Singapore rose slightly to 35%, from 32% in 2014. Feeling underpaid superseded “no opportunity for growth” as the top reason for dissatisfaction at 54%.

A lack of opportunity for career advancement also rose from 33% to 38% this year

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.
