The Asia Pacific workplace is changing rapidly. Digital transformation forces that have long been at play in the region, such as remote work, reskilling and automation, gained momentum and accelerated the change during the COVID-19 pandemic. The future of work is already here, and it’s causing a talent shake-up. Businesses that want to attract and retain talent should understand these future-of-work forces and use those insights to offer competitive employee benefits.    

Five key trends to monitor

Our e- book - Future of Work Trends Shaping Employee Benefits in Singapore - distils the research into the future of work into five key trends that is impacting businesses in Asia Pacific in general and Singapore in particular. These trends are:

  • Fairness and equity - Employees want to see a sincere commitment to fairness and equity from their companies. 
  • Flexibility of work - Demand for remote and hybrid work is so commonplace that employees will consider leaving workplaces that do not offer flexibility. 
  • Holistic well-being - The tumult of the last few years means that there is a greater demand for companies to support their employees’ mental, physical and financial stability. 
  • Skills-based talent - Automation is disrupting the workforce and evolving the talent pool from a roles-based to a skills-based model. 
  • Digitalisation - Companies should harness digital technologies to make the workplace as innovative and convenient as the technologies employees use in daily life. 

Harnessing employee benefits to advance the future of work 

Employee benefits are a powerful tool to improve employee satisfaction and retention, especially in a job-seeker’s market such as Singapore. 

In our e-book, we connect each trend to actionable steps companies can take to use benefits to address their employees’ needs and expectations. We dive deep into the risks and opportunities inherent in each key trend, and suggest various employee benefits that best mitigate these challenges. Does meeting the expectation of workplace flexibility simply mean offering hybrid reporting options? How can companies connect their employees’ desire for a fair and equitable workplace to their benefits? We explore these questions in depth and offer solutions in the Future of Work Trends Shaping Employee Benefits in Singapore e-book.
