Singapore’s employee preferences are falling on deaf ears

SINGAPORE (May 24): What matters most to the average employee?

According to the Randstad Employer Brand Research 2017, good work-life balance tops the list for those surveyed in Singapore, followed by job security and a pleasant work atmosphere.

Yet, these preferences appear to be far from being met by the city state’s employers, with all three factors ending up near the bottom of the ranking of what these employers are offering: Job security comes in at fifth place, while a pleasant work atmosphere and good work-life balance are ranked at 7 and 8 respectively.
