83% of SG employees ready to say "adios!" to bosses

Singapore ranked the lowest in terms of long-term loyalty while French employees ranked first with 57 per cent.

According to Lumesse in their 'Inspiring Talent' global survey, the oldest and youngest workers were the happiest, with employees starting work and nearing retirement consistently reporting higher levels of workplace satisfaction than their stressed-out, mid-career colleagues.

Differences in pay rises, training opportunities and job satisfaction between men and women were still common, suggesting that not all employers have made good progress in equalising the workplace experience between the sexes in recent years.

The survey also revealed that Chinese staff are almost three times as likely to report large pay rises as the global average.

"...our 'Inspiring Talent' survey shows that many companies have a long way to go in getting the best from their people and in giving them careers that really inspire them," said Lumesse CEO Matthew Parker.
