News Update: Half of Singapore employees believe in changing organisations as job opportunities arise

JobsDB.com Singapore has received a press release from global professional services company Tower Watson reporting the latest findings on their Global Workforce Study. Majority of the respondents in Singapore (a good 51%) say that they are willing to switch organisations when suitable job opportunities arise.

The Towers Watson 2010 Global Workforce Study is a biennial survey of employee attitudes and workplace trends. It evaluates how organisations address their employees' expectation in terms of career advancement.

The key highlights of the press release are:

1. Degree of mobility among Singapore workers higher than global average
only 25% of employees say that they have no plans to leave their organisations, compared to the global figure of 42%.

2. Career development a key factor to retaining employees
traditional notion of career advancement, such as increased compensation and landing a senior leadership position, is taking a back seat.

3. Wanted – Leaders with stronger interpersonal sensitivities
slight disconnect between what employees desire in their leaders and what their leaders actually demonstrate, possibly due to a post-recession climate that has made employees prefer leaders who demonstrate stronger interpersonal sensitivities.
