10 Proven Techniques to Retain your Smart Talents: Creating a workplace culture that empowers employees is essential for leading smart talent. This includes fostering an environment where individuals feel valued and respected. Smart people thrive in cultures that encourage autonomy, allowing them to take ownership of their work. Leaders should delegate responsibilities, provide the necessary resources, and uphold a hands-off approach that grants employees the freedom to experiment and innovate. #talentintellect #talentretention #talentengagement #workplaceculture #futureofleadership #leadershipcoaching https://lnkd.in/g5wQ8Qn3

Something fascinating is happening in Singapore's workplace dialogue. Two recent surveys tell vastly different stories about the future of work- While Robert Walters found 70% of employers view 4-day workweeks as feasible, SNEF's latest data shows only 5% ready to implement it now. The gap between what seems possible and what organizations are ready to implement reflects the complex challenge of balancing innovation with practicality. Employees are overwhelmingly enthusiastic, with 93% eager to embrace shorter workweeks. Yet many employers remain cautious, concerned about maintaining operational excellence and productivity. Both perspectives are valid – and therein lies our opportunity. Perhaps we're limiting ourselves by focusing solely on 4-day workweeks. In today's competitive talent landscape, the winners won't be those who simply follow trends, but those who thoughtfully design workplace cultures that enhance both productivity and personal fulfillment. It's not about choosing between business success and employee satisfaction – it's about innovating ways to achieve both. As leaders, we must ask ourselves: how can we create workplace environments that energize our teams while driving business growth? Why limit ourselves to 4-day week? How about other flexible work arrangements? Or something more radical? Will be happy to hear from you. #WorkplaceCulture #FutureOfWork #Leadership #WorkLifeHarmony

Almost half of Singapore employers plan to hire in Q4 Singapore’s Net Employment Outlook (NEO) for Q4 2024 is +29%, improving 9% from Q3 2024, but weakening 7% year-over-year. At Elliott Scott HR, we've observed a subtle increase in job roles, including newly created positions.
