Singaporeans least optimistic about seeing a pay rise this year: Randstad

SINGAPORE (Mar 5): Singaporean employees are Asia’s least optimistic about a wage growth this year, according to Randstad Workmonitor’s survey results for 4Q17.  

The online study – which encompasses Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas with a minimum sample size of 400 interviews per country – found that at least half of employees around the world aged 18-65 are expecting salary hikes and bonuses in 2018.

In a press release on Monday, Randstad notes that employees from Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong are particularly more demanding from their employers this year, with almost seven in ten expecting higher salaries.
