Nearly 7 in 10 employees across Asia say not being able to work remotely or hybrid permanently is a deal breaker when considering whether to join or stay with an organization, according to Mercer’s 2022 Global Talent Trends Study.
NEARLY 7 in 10 employees across Asia say not being able to work remotely or hybrid permanently is a deal breaker when considering whether to join or stay with an organization, according to Mercer’s 2022 Global Talent Trends Study.
However, according to the global trends study, 89 percent of executives in Asia are concerned about the impact of permanent hybrid and remote working, especially when it comes to the ability to build and maintain colleague relationships. Moreover, 7 in 10 also believe fundamentally that work gets done in an office, not remotely.
“The percentage of energized employees has dropped significantly from 74 percent in 2019 to 63 percent this year—the lowest level in the study’s seven-year history,” the news statement read, citing data from Mercer’s 2022 Global Talent Trends Study. Moreover, across Asia, the number dipped to 56 percent and 44 percent specifically for Japan and Singapore respectively, well below the regional average of 68 percent.
However, the study noted that it is unclear if the investment is paying off. Moreover, it’s worthy to note that nearly all employees in Asia reported recently learning a new skill, yet a staggering 97 percent of companies report significant skill gaps in their organization. With this, the study noted that addressing skill gaps is more pressing than ever for organizations to realize their strategy, meet evolving business needs and ensure the employability of their talent well into the future. The good news, it added, is that HR leaders in Asia are looking to build skills internally rather than acquiring talent, a significant development from pre- pandemic.
