Employers in Singapore face fierce competition for talent as workers seek higher salaries and better benefits

0

Majority of Singaporean workers are unhappy with benefits packages.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A new survey revealed that 80% of organisations in Singapore have found hiring ‘very’ or ‘quite’ competitive in 2023. 39% have lost out on hiring new talent in the last six months as they ‘can’t compete on salary and benefits’, and 44% expect ‘lack of skilled candidates available’ to be their greatest 2024 recruitment challenge.

Despite this, the research, conducted by global talent services company Morgan McKinley as part of its 2024 Salary Guide, found that 43% of Singapore businesses still plan to hire in the next six months.

On the candidate side, 41% of professionals in Singapore plan to actively look for new jobs in the next six months. The survey also revealed that Singaporean workers were not happy with the benefits they received: 63% being ‘neutral’, ‘dissatisfied’ or ‘highly dissatisfied’ with their packages. The top five desired benefits Singaporean workers look for in a job are: Bonus, work from home, flexible working hours, health and wellbeing support, and health insurance.

‘Higher salary’ remains the most valued reason for wanting to move jobs at 43%, followed by ‘career growth and development opportunities’ at 14%. 60% of professionals in Singapore are optimistic that they will receive a salary increase in 2024 and 72% of employers plan to increase salary offers in 2024 for certain in-demand roles.

Gurj Sandhu, Managing Director of Morgan McKinley Singapore, commented: "Global markets have been challenging in 2023. After two years of double-digit GDP growth, companies are understandably tightening the purse strings and being strategic with their hiring strategies."

"Despite a significant slowdown in hiring from the post-pandemic highs in Singapore, recruitment for top talent is still happening – but it has been difficult. Apprehension from jobseekers, the widening skills shortage due to international talent leaving the region, and increased hiring process length deterring candidates each played a role in this."

Sandhu concluded: "In a difficult market where headcount may be reducing and workload per person is increasing, employee engagement and togetherness is key. It’s important you understand your people – their career goals and aspirations – to keep them engaged."

"When the employment market improved in 2021, we saw a lot of movement, often referred to as the ‘Great Resignation’. Only time will tell whether we see a boom like this in 2024, however, if employees are not taken care of now, they will let this be known with their feet."

The Morgan McKinley 2024 Salary Guide presents up-to-date and accurate salary data for a wide range of roles across Singapore, providing hiring managers with industry benchmarks when they are working out what to pay employees and giving professionals more visibility over what they can earn.

Research from 650 businesses and 3,400 professionals was conducted to find out what companies’ hiring intentions are for 2024, what the key motivators are for changing jobs, and what the expectations are for movement on salaries.

Hyundai Motor Group to launch large-scale outdoor advertisement in Paris throughout November to support Busan’s bid for 2030 World Expo Digital advertisement captures vibrant designs featuring iconic Busan symbols like seagulls and Gwangan Bridge, along with message "BUSAN is Ready" Approximately 270 digital screens to be displayed in high-traffic locations all over Paris

PARIS and SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) is ramping up efforts in the final stage of appealing Busan’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo, a candidate city, by unveiling large-scale outdoor advertisement in Paris, France, where the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) is headquartered.


Hyundai Motor Group’s 2030 Busan Expo advertisement is being displayed in Paris

The Group revealed that it had initiated a final push to secure the 2030 World Expo in Busan by displaying outdoor advertisement in partnership with leading Korean graffiti artist ‘JAY FLOW.’ The ad will adorn approximately 270 digital screens in prominent Parisian urban zones and shopping centers throughout November.

The digital outdoor advertisement captures vibrant designs featuring iconic Busan symbols like seagulls and the Gwangan Bridge, along with the message ‘BUSAN is Ready,’ conveying the city’s readiness to host the 2030 World Expo. The Group also highlights Busan’s commitment to hosting a carbon-neutral World Expo by featuring the IONIQ 5, its dedicated electric vehicle, in the videos.

The Group plans to operate advertisement on digital screens in Parisian landmarks with high-traffic locations, such as Terne district, Gare Saint-Lazare and La Défense, to foster a positive consensus on Busan’s bid.

Last month, the group actively promoted Busan as a candidate city for the World Expo to not only key officials from BIE member countries but also tourists from around the world who visited Paris during the Busan Expo Symposium and K-POP concert, utilizing specially designed art cars.

Furthermore, the Group has created over 90 innovative content pieces, including social media-friendly short-form videos and infographics, to market Busan as the perfect host city. In particular, the promotional video "Busan Initiative with the Whole World" released by the Group last month for attracting the Busan Expo has surpassed 100 million views in just 17 days since its release, contributing to showcasing the strong determination of Busan as a host city.

Hong Kong employers struggle with talent attrition due to financial factors

0

Majority of workers in Hong Kong are unhappy with benefits packages.

HONG KONG, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A new survey revealed that 73% of organisations in Hong Kong have found hiring ‘very’ or ‘quite’ competitive in 2023. 91% have lost staff members in the last six months, with half selecting ‘salary’ as the main reason for their departures.

Despite this, the research, conducted by global talent services company Morgan McKinley as part of its 2024 Salary Guide, found that 55% of businesses still plan to hire in the next six months.

On the candidate side, 47% of professionals in Hong Kong plan to actively look for new jobs in the next six months. The survey also revealed that Hong Kong workers were not happy with the benefits they received: 76% being ‘neutral’, ‘dissatisfied’ or ‘highly dissatisfied’ with their packages. The top five desired benefits workers in Hong Kong look for in a job are: Bonus, work from home, health insurance, flexible working hours, and health and wellbeing support.

‘Higher salary’ remains the most valued reason for wanting to move jobs at 60%, followed by ‘career growth and development opportunities’ at 13%. 57% of professionals in Hong Kong are optimistic that they will receive a salary increase in 2024 and 47% of employers plan to increase salary offers in 2024 for certain in-demand roles.

Rob Sheffield, Managing Director of Morgan McKinley Hong Kong & Mainland China, commented:  "In 2023, businesses assessed their hiring needs after sustained activity in recent years. Vacancy and job seeker volumes have held steady, but hiring has been slow despite modest expectations of both headcount and salary increases."

"What continues to be in high demand is the need for experienced contractors and outcome-based consulting, which has increased noticeably in Hong Kong. The need to support business-critical programmes and time-sensitive roles is driving this demand."

Sheffield concluded: "In the current environment, employee retention is going to be key. Whilst competitive salaries are important to attract talent, it doesn’t always correlate with retaining employees. You need to also offer comprehensive benefits, have a slick hiring process, create a positive candidate experience, provide flexibility in working patterns and encourage professional development."

"Whilst caution is likely to continue impacting the hiring market, and a range of flexible resourcing strategies adopted, early 2024 could see some loosening up in headcount budgets as markets recover."

The Morgan McKinley 2024 Salary Guide presents up-to-date and accurate salary data for a wide range of roles across Hong Kong, providing hiring managers with industry benchmarks when they are working out what to pay employees and giving professionals more visibility over what they can earn.

Research from 650 businesses and 3,400 professionals was conducted to find out what companies’ hiring intentions are for 2024, what the key motivators are for changing jobs, and what the expectations are for movement on salaries.

Gaza Humanitarian Response: Education Cannot Wait Announces US$10 Million First Emergency Response Grant

0

ECW urges more public and private sector donors to join efforts to support children in Gaza with life-saving mental health and psychosocial services and protective learning opportunities.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — With innocent children bearing the brunt of the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, Education Cannot Wait (ECW) today announced an initial US$10 million First Emergency Response grant to urgently support mental health and psychosocial services and protective learning opportunities for crisis-affected girls and boys, and generate global funding support for innocent children whose mental health and education during their formative years is at massive risk.


All activities through this new grant will be delivered through the UN system to ensure alignment with humanitarian principles and accountability to affected populations. Funding will be strictly managed and utilized by UN agencies only.

As of 30 October, over 3,400 children have reportedly been killed, 6,300 injured and over 220 schools have been damaged or destroyed in Gaza since 7 October. More than 1.4 million people, a majority of whom are children, have been displaced – with at least half living in overcrowded and unsanitary shelters with limited clean water, food or medicines.

"The scale of horrors and adversity endured by the children in Gaza for nearly four weeks is unfathomable. I have seen much human suffering over the past three decades, but never thought we would see anything of this intensity in our lifetime. Working together with UN organizations on the ground, we must immediately provide girls and boys with the mental health and psychosocial support and protective learning environments they desperately need now. Our independent, humanitarian partners on the ground have the capacity to deliver now. This support is absolutely crucial to help them cope with the severe trauma and stress they are experiencing," said Yasmine Sherif, Executive Director of Education Cannot Wait, the UN global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises.

"I call on all public and private donors to join our efforts as much more funding is urgently required to meet the immense needs of the 1.1 million children and adolescents impacted by the ongoing war," she said.

The ECW grant will be delivered by globally respected, proven and credible UN organizations actively present and working together in Gaza: UNRWA and UNICEF. They are ready to provide education interventions focusing on mental health to promote the safety and well-being of innocent and deeply scarred children, heroic teachers and other education personnel. This naturally emphasizes psychosocial support to address their soul-shattering, heartbreaking suffering and to ensure connection to urgently needed protection services including access to health, nutrition and food.

"The children in Gaza have gone through hell and have paid an unprecedented price in this brutal conflict. Psychological support and education offer children the opportunity to tap into their extraordinary resilience and hold on to hope. Together, let us ensure that every child in Gaza has the chance to learn, to dream and to build a better future. They deserve nothing less. Thank you for standing in solidarity with Gaza’s children," said UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini.

Initial assessments show that over 90% of children in Gaza are demonstrating acute signs of stress and trauma as a result of what they are witnessing and suffering through – an unimaginable horror – and the crisis is also impacting the wellbeing of teachers and other educational workers and humanitarians. "In addition to calling for massive additional funding, ECW urges respect for the UN Charter and international humanitarian law, universal human rights and calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire," said Sherif.

All education facilities in Gaza are closed – and many are being used as shelters and are not safe due to damage inflicted by airstrikes in the ongoing conflict. In all, the education of over 625,000 students has been brutally interrupted. Disruption to schooling has increased the risk of severe post-traumatic stress disorder. Orphaned children are particularly susceptible to these risks. Without parents, who shall console them during their darkest hours?

Women and children account for the majority of those killed; meanwhile, the conflict has also increased risks of gender-based violence for girls and women.

All activities through this new grant will be delivered through the UN system to ensure alignment with humanitarian principles and accountability to affected populations. Funding will be strictly managed and utilized by UN agencies only. ECW is also working with the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) in coordinating efforts to mobilize additional financial support for locally identified education needs.

The UN and partners are appealing for US$294 million to address the most urgent needs of 1.26 million people in Gaza and the West Bank for three months. So far, a third of the total has been pledged. UNRWA is urgently seeking $104 million to cover urgent food, non-food, health, shelter and protection needs for persons seeking safety in UNRWA shelters across the Gaza Strip and another 250,000 Palestine refugees within the community.

At ECW, we urgently call for top-ups and additional funding to support our independent, reliable and credible partners in-country to work together in alleviating abnormal human suffering for 1.1 million young innocent children and adolescents during their most formative years – years that will determine their future and that of the world.

ShareRing Certified In The UK As A Trusted Digital Identity Services Provider

0

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ShareRing, a true self-sovereign digital identity blockchain Australian company, proudly announces its achievement as one of the first in the industry to be accredited under the "Digital Identities and Attributes Trust Framework" (DIATF) in the United Kingdom. This accomplishment marks a significant advancement in ShareRing’s technology and reaffirms the company’s commitment to reusable digital identity authentication in a secure and private environment.

By securing the accreditation, ShareRing can now offer its digital identity solution for digital ID authentication, with the addition of ID verification for land registry purposes in the UK.

ShareRing’s digital identity technology gives businesses an end-to-end solution to prove their customers’ identities across many different industries, whether it’s for financial KYC and customer due diligence (CDD), age and ID verification, venue and guest management, or corporate identity management. Businesses would manage their digital identity needs through a web-based platform, whilst their customers create and control their reusable digital ID through the Identifi Me app, where they have complete sovereignty over their personal information.

The DIATF is overseen by UK government authorities and is a comprehensive framework for establishing trusted and secure digital identity ecosystems. It defines robust standards, principles, and requirements that accredited companies, like ShareRing, must meet to guarantee the integrity, privacy, and reliability of user data, while minimizing the risk of identity fraud and cyber threats.

"Digital identities are pivotal to removing friction from our everyday lives, and drastically improve operational efficiency across all businesses," said Tim Bos, Founder of ShareRing. "The UK leads the way in digital ID regulation, and with the accreditation, ShareRing can confidently partner with public and private sectors in Australia and the UK."

ShareRing’s self-sovereign identity solution is built with blockchain technology (Tendermint PoS and Cosmos SDK) and establishes a tamper-proof ecosystem for businesses and individuals. Unlike traditional identity systems vulnerable to breaches and fraud, ShareRing’s solution ensures that personal data is verified and remains under the user’s control, only shared with third parties when necessary and with explicit consent. Over the past year, ShareRing has partnered with multiple private sector businesses in Australia and overseas, replacing conventional KYC and customer authentication processes with reusable digital identities. ShareRing will continue to establish partnerships with Australian and UK investment funds, nightlife and F&B venues, and hotels, to help safeguard these businesses from identity fraud whilst improving operational processes and lowering costs.
