execuTive overview

In recent years, there has been much buzz

around talent shortage, acquisition and

retention as well as cross-border talent

migration. There is also an increasing interest

in understanding generational differences

and employee engagement in the hopes of

solving talent-related challenges that are vital

to business growth. Among the critical factors,

compensation is often cited as a key solution

to tackling talent issues. Through this salary

guide, we aim to provide an overview of how

different professional skills, responsibilities

and qualifications are compensated. The data

is gathered from our practical experience

working with major multinational clients from a

multitude of industries. We hope that this will

be an effective benchmarking tool for you.

Our Global Workforce Survey has shown that

when it comes to making career decisions,

compensation and benefits, while an important

factor, ranks third. It is outranked by personal

fulfilment/work-life balance and personal

growth/advancement. With this in mind, we

would like to bring to your attention other

talent attraction and retention elements, such

as corporate culture, employee engagement,

career advancement plans, reputation for

innovation, and corporate social responsibility.

In this 2013/2014 edition, I am also pleased to

introduce a new segment, one that captures

valuable insights from industry insiders. We feel

that it is useful to have a realistic snapshot of the

goings-on from professionals in the

field. We would like to express our appreciation

to valued clients and candidates who have

graciously contributed their views.

Published economic projections indicate that

2013 looks to be a year of internal growth and

aggressive expansion towards neighbouring

countries like Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia.

Brace yourself for a positively active year ahead.

We hope you are ready for an even more

heated competition for high calibre, skilled and

multi-lingual talent to drive the growth in this

increasingly important economic zone we

call ASEAN.

According to our industry experts, the general

business outlook is positive as Asia continues

on a strong growth momentum. The upcoming

ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), due

to take shape in 2015, is helping to spur the

growth of this region as companies expand or

increase their market coverage into Indochina

and Myanmar. Companies see the need to

be bolder and to be prepared to operate in

unfamiliar territories. As the borders open,

companies that are ready to compete

will flourish.

The AEC will have direct impact on the talent

shortage situation, which is currently a major

obstacle in the growing economies of this

region. The demand of qualified and bilingual

talent has continued to increase at a rate

unmatched by the growth in local supply.

There is a critical need for organizations to re-

evaluate their talent acquisition tactics in order

The inSide TracK

to ensure sustainability and continuity of growth.

Technology and social networking have become

an important channel to reach the available

talent pool. That being said, social networking

is a double-edged sword as it conversely

allows competitors and hiring companies to

reach internal talent directly. With this in mind,

talent retention is also a serious challenge that

companies need to tackle in keeping attrition

in check. Innovation and ingenuity are clearly

needed to ensure continuity and sustainability

of businesses.

It is worth noting that employer branding is

among the top attributes that appeal to talent.

Candidates look for the corporate profile, vision

and strategy that resonate with them. Job-

seekers not only opt to take on roles that are

meaningful to them, they are also looking to

be a part of a company that upholds the same

values. Companies that play an active role in

corporate social responsibility appear to garner

more interest from job-seekers. Employers need

to understand generational differences in belief

systems and behaviors in order to anticipate

the needs of their workforce, and craft out the

appropriate benefits and tools to engage and

retain their employees.

From the various surveys conducted on

employees globally, financial benefits are not

the number one reason why they decide to join

or leave a company. To win the war for talent,

employers need to be ahead of the game by

understanding what makes employees tick,

create an environment and provide relevant

tools that excite high caliber talent as well as

effective enough to retain them.
