Prioritize employee satisfaction, employers urged

It’s the way to stay afloat in this tough labor market.

The MoM’s recently released Q1 2014 Labour Market Report highlights the fact that good employees are hard to find. The report revealed today that job vacancy is rising and Singapore’s employees are working fewer hours.

According to Michael Smith, country director of Randstand Singapore, these statistics only show that Singaporean companies are on the right track in ensuring productivity even with a manpower shortage.

But Smith also warned that employers may still be at risk as talent scarcity remains strong with an unemployment rate of 2%.

“To combat talent shortage, companies in Singapore need to fine-tune their human capital strategies to attract and retain employees. Adopting flexible work practices improves employee engagement and satisfaction and creates a culture of trust, which in turn helps to attract and retain talent,” stated Smith.

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.
