Sluggish salary growth fails to keep pace with tight talent market

Only 13% of employees can expect increases above 6%.

Salary growth in Singapore is failing to keep pace with the tight talent market, a report by Hays revealed today.

According to the 2015 Hays Asia Salary Guide, released today, just 13 per cent of employees in Singapore can expect a salary increase of 6 per cent or more.

Meanwhile, 6% of employees will have no salary increases at all, while 22% of workers should expect their salaries to increase by less than 3%.

The vast majority of employees, or 59%, should expect their salaries to increase from 3% to 6% this year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
