Dear Chris,
I look after the recruitment for a large organisation here in Singapore and am very keen to hear your thoughts on what will be the top employment issues this year.
Thanks,Jacqueline
Dear Jacqueline,
Thank you for your question. Singapore’s jobs market is now very active, with healthy levels of movement, a strong economy and new projects coming on line. But a shallow pool of talent in many specialist areas is the biggest threat to growth and is also the catalyst for many of the other issues we expect to dominate in 2011.
1. Skills shortagesSingapore is fast becoming a financial hub and suitably qualified banking professionals will be highly sought after in 2011. Neighbouring Asian markets are also competing for talent in this and other sectors such as IT and oil and gas so employers will need to assess what they can offer in order to attract and retain staff.
2. Salary pressureThe GFC-induced salary slowdown is a distant memory and the salary expectations of employees are rising on the back of our strong economy and job numbers. Employers meanwhile are responding to the emerging shortage of skills with a greater willingness to review salaries. Headhunting is also adding to salary pressure. There is no doubt that professionals with skills in demand will expect a healthy salary increase in 2011 otherwise they will enter thejobs market.
3. Return of the counter offerCompanies are expected to dig deep to retain their top talent in the face of a tightening candidate market. A successful counter offer involves more than just money – employers need to make sure they address the underlying issue of why their employee decided to look for a new job in the first place.
4.Recruiting from overseasDespite widespread agreement that employers will need to recruit migrants to head off the growing list of skills in demand, there remains a lot of reluctance about this particular strategy for helping to overcome skills shortages. The irony is that recruiting from overseas can be an uncomplicated process, and it is one that, properly done, yields good results.
5. Plugging the leakAn increasing number of skilled Singaporeans are once more heading overseas for work following improvements to certain international markets. Australia in particular is a clear attraction. Employers are using bonus schemes, health and life insurance, gym memberships, stock options or education benefits to try to stem the flow, but it is time to get more innovative. This means looking at more than just salary and benefits, towards the implementation of solid career development plans.
6. Social media’s influence growsWe expect the use of social media checks to become more mainstream in 2011. No longer will it be just the savvy employers that use social media to cross-reference a candidates’ employment history or evaluate potential employees.
But more than this, we also expect this publicly-available information to be used not just when recruiting, but when employers consider promotions and succession planning. So in 2011 it will be not just job seekers that need to ensure their online profile remains professional, but all employees.
Regards,Chris Mead

Robots can now replace your presencein the offi ce Global - If you’re dreading the thought of heading to the offi ce, why not send a remote-controlled robot to take your place instead?
The idea of a robot avatar is already a reality for employees in US and Japan. One Californian company, Anybots, even recently launched its QB offi ce bot, which looks like a small Segway vehicle with a robot head on top.
The bot can be controlled by another person via a web browser. Its camera eyes allow the person to navigate while a small LCD screen on the head means that colleagues can see the person on the other end too. Trevor Blackwell of Anybots says using a robot body allows people to move around the bot in a relatively normal way. And while it might feel strange talking to the robot at fi rst, people will get around the obstacle relatively quickly, he adds.

Good news as wages are set to rise this year
Singapore - Singaporean employees in certain sectors can expect to see a wage growth of between 5 to 10 percent this year due to a drive in broad-based hiring.
According to analysts, wage increases are likely to be seen in the service and fi nancial sectors, where manpower crunch is most acute.
Speaking to local media, Standard Chartered Bank’s economist, Alvin Liew, said the country’s services sector is experiencing a four-year record high in vacancies due to a rise in demand from strong visitor arrivals, as well as changes in government policies towards the infl ux of foreign workers.
Recently, the local Minister of Manpower reported an increase of 21,300 workers in the services sector in the third quarter of 2010.
Part-time work most common fl exi-work arrangement in Singapore
Singapore - Compassionate, marriage and paternity leave are just some of the more common benefi ts given to employees these days.
In a recent Conditions of Employment survey conducted by the Manpower Ministry, it found that more organisations are also offering some form of fl exi-work arrangements such as part-time work and staggered hours. Approximately 30 percent of the 3,400 companies surveyed said they offer part-time work.
The next most common programme was staggered hours at 6.5 percent. Approximately 6.3 percent of companies also offer fl exi-time, with tele-working also being offered by 2.8 percent of companies.
However, the survey found that the majority 60 percent of employees did not receive more than 15 days of paid annual leave in 2010. This remained unchanged from the last 2008 survey. On the other hand, only 10 percent of Singapore employees received over 21 days of annual leave.
SingPost branches out overseas in search of mailmen
Singapore - Recruitment for mailmen is an ongoing challenge for Singapore Post, the company recently announced.
SingPost added that this challenge could be due to the physically-demanding nature of the job. The company also saw a rising attrition rate in the second half of 2010. In the past two months, its attrition rate stood at about 15 percent, said the Vice President of SingPost’s Corporate Communications.
In a recent recruitment drive, the organisation garnered a total of ten applicants for the mailman’s position. The company may look to other countries such as Malaysia, China and the Philippines to fi nd suitable employees to join its 1,000-strong postmen headcount.
Negotiating for higher pay? Preparation is key
US - Nearly half (45%) of 2,400 hiring managers in the United States say they would be happy to negotiate salary packages with employees this year.
According to a CareerBuilder survey released late 2010, hiring managers said they would be most open to negotiations when employees highlighted their specifi c accomplishments and achievements (48%). Thirty-nine percent also said they would negotiate if employees knew the range of salary they wanted and had strong justifi cation for the increase.
Additionally, 37 percent said they would consider an increase if employees “show an understanding of what is important to the company”.
Other than monetary rewards, 42 percent said they would consider providing employees with more fl exible work hours. Training was also another popular perk cited by 23 percent. An increase in vacation time and academic reimbursement were also perks employer said they were willing to offer.

A view from the
Topby Lisa Cheong
What is your one trait which you think has led to your career success?
A persevering attitude that never gives up but seeks to fi nd a solution to every problem has helped me in my career. I started as a Marketing Manager and over the years, it is this belief in perseverance that has brought me success in my career and helped me to reach my current position, leading the Canon consumer products marketing and sales team in Singapore.
What do you look for in young leaders?
Young leaders are the future. While there are quite a few traits that young leaders should have, I look for the following in my interactions;
• A good positive attitude and mindset. • Someone who is not daunted by diffi culties, but fi nd a solution in every situation. • Good interpersonal skills which are critical in communicating across all levels in the company. • Ability to motivate people.
• Must be able to make tough decisions. The objective is not to be a popular but an effective leader.
Best career advice you’ve ever received? Not to accept “no” for an answer, but to work around it and fi nd solutions. This advice was given by my fi rst boss, who led by example. As a mentor, he also instilled a sense of confi dence in my communication, both oral and written. In fact my ‘don’t give up’ attitude stems from this inspiring piece of career advice and it never fails to support me when I deal with any kind tough situationor people.
What was one of your biggest challenges that you’ve faced in your career?
I recall my fi rst job in sales where I was assigned to Los Angeles to manage key client accounts. As a novice in the industry, it was a challenging and eye-opening experience for me. I was dealing with American clients of very different cultural background as myself while adapting to a completely new way of life in Los Angeles. It was a steep learning curve in my 1.5 years stint in the US. However, it was time well spent and I learnt a lot during my stay there.
How can employees make a lasting impression on you at work?
As I am strong believer and follower of dogged determination, if employees are able to demonstrate the “never say die” spirit, and persevere in trying times, they can make a lasting impression on me. I remember the experience of working with an ex-colleague. She did not complain when we were going through tough times, despite her being unwell. She pushed on despite odds and I truly admire that kind of fi ghting spirit.
What are some of your personal goals for yourself when it comes to your career?
Aside from fulfi lling the organisational goals, I feel that people are the most valuable assets for any organisation. My personal goal is to create a better and more fulfi lling work environment for my
employees. It is easier to strike a balance at work and life when employees can materialize their professional ambitions and goals.I also believe in continuous learning and self-improvement.
How do you develop your leadership skills?
I draw inspiration from strong leaders and learn from them. I cite the example of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew whom I admire for transforming Singapore into what it is today; a progressive nation with booming economic prospects. Knowledge is priceless and there is no end to learning. I consciously evaluate myself and read widely to improve my skills and knowledge.
What is the biggest business challenge you see in your industry now?
Today’s business environment is dynamic to say the least. It is evolving at a very rapid pace and it is necessary to stay agile and adapt quickly to changes. We are constantly challenged by technologies that are similar or mimic ours which makes it imperative to anticipate what’s coming up in order to expand the business. Building brand equity and ensuring its longevity, beyond product sales is a key business challenge that we encounter inour industry.
