To make sure their organisations remain agile during turbulent times, they need insight, the right strategies in place and a clear action plan,” said Doug Edmonds, Managing Director, Randstad Sourceright Asia Pacific. “Our 2016 Talent Trends Report takes an in-depth look at how leaders are responding to these developments and how best to prepare for these changes.”

Singapore especially remains one of Asia’s most competitive talent markets. In Singapore, the use of talent and workforce analytics continues to increase, with 73% in Singapore using this data to create more efficient workforce planning. However, more investment is needed for business and HR analytics (59%), the report found.

When asked about the biggest trends impacting the future of work in the next five to 10 years, the top responses were the need to create greater flexible working options to attract mobile talent, the ability to analyse internal and external employee data to source and retain talent and the challenge of keeping pace with evolving technology.
