This survey, conducted from July 1-31, 2024, among over 10,000 employers across seven APAC countries and territories, indicates that while hiring intentions are improving, economic uncertainties continue to temper optimism.​"The labor market across Asia Pacific is demonstrating a level of resilience as we approach the fourth quarter.

As digital transformation and the adoption of AI technology accelerates, the need for skilled IT professionals continues to rise, making it essential for businesses to invest in talent attraction and development.”​Used internationally as a bellwether of labor market trends, the NEO is calculated by subtracting the percentage of employers who anticipate reductions in staffing levels from those who plan to hire.​GLOBAL HIRING PLANS BY REGION​Asia Pacific (APAC): Hiring managers across the region anticipate the second strongest regional Outlook (27%), an increase from the previous quarter (+4%) but decreased when compared to the same time last year (-5%).

​THE TRUE PURPOSE OF WORK REVEALED: 98% OF MALAYSIANS WANT MEANING AT WORK Malaysia (April 25, 2024) - 98% of Malaysians say that meaning at work is important to them, and more than half (55%) are planning to take action to achieve it. The study, released today by Job_that_makesense Asia and global recruitment agency Manpower, was primarily conducted on working adults and a smaller group of tertiary students (2%) poised to enter the workforce. The report, titled 'The Quest for Meaning at Work', is the very first Southeast Asia-focused research survey on the pursuit of meaning at work. The report examines the responses of 2,023 (211 in Malaysia) participants from six major Southeast Asian countries to determine what meaningful work is for the workforce of today.  When looking for a new job, 45% of the respondents in Malaysia have identified salary and job stability as their top priorities. Over one in four (27%) respondents said that maintaining a positive work-life balance is becoming increasingly important for professional fulfillment. The pursuit of a high salary is not motivated by the pursuit of material wealth, but rather by the desire to provide comfort and security for one's family. Unfortunately, the report shows less than one in three (27%) of Malaysian respondents are “very satisfied” with the level of meaning in their current role. This is a significant opportunity for organizations to address this issue and stand out in our tight labor market. MALAYSIA FINDINGS98% of respondents in Malaysia indicated that having meaning at work was important to them. Less than one in three (27%) of Malaysia respondents indicated they currently feel “very satisfied” with their current level of meaning at work.While the majority (79%) of Malaysian respondents believe that any job can contribute to the betterment of society and the planet, 55% of them are contemplating a career change to actively pursue this purpose. High levels of satisfaction are reported by 93% of those who have already made the transition.When considering a new job, Malaysian participants prioritize salary and job stability above all else, with 45% citing this as the primary determining factor. The next most important are work-life balance (27%) and opportunities for career growth and personal development (27%).For job seekers, a company's reputation, particularly in social responsibility, is crucial. In fact, 90% of Malaysian respondents indicate that a company's reputation in these areas significantly contributes to their decision to pursue employment with them. This is much higher than the SEA's average of 77%. SOUTHEAST ASIA (SEA) FINDINGS:98% of participants surveyed from six key SEA countries indicated that having meaning at work was important to them. Only one in five (21%) of SEA respondents indicated they currently feel “very satisfied” with their current level of meaning at work.More than half of SEA respondents expect their companies to take a leading role in promoting sustainability initiatives. They also advocate for the creation of more positions dedicated to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibilities and the provision of learning programs for employees that focus on societal impact and sustainability.While the majority (86%) of SEA respondents believe that any job can contribute to the betterment of society and the planet, 53% of them are contemplating a career change to actively pursue this purpose. Impressively, 84% of those who have already made the transition report high levels of satisfaction. The significance of a company's reputation, particularly in social responsibility, has become a critical factor for job seekers. In fact, 77% of SEA respondents indicate that a company’s reputation in these areas significantly contributes to their decision to pursue employment with them. Respondents expect their companies and employers to balance improvements in workplace conditions with a commitment to broader societal well-being. More than seven out of ten respondents agreed enhancing working conditions with flexible hours, comprehensive health insurance and equal pay (74%), and advocacy for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and other social causes (72%) are actions organizations could implement to enhance their meaning at work.  Jobs that make sense Asia CEO, Ms. Léa Klein, said that over the past three years, we have witnessed a significant shift in this area.“We are seeing a distinct shift towards integrating sustainable practices into various job roles, which is a positive development.” “To meet our region's sustainability targets by 2030, we must accelerate the momentum we are seeing in this space. The workforce is increasingly committed to sustainability and DEIB practices, necessitating the expansion of sustainability-driven roles and upskilling programs. By mainstreaming sustainability across all levels of companies, these positions will become the new norm, ensuring the success of the entire region," Ms Klein said. ManpowerGroup’s Regional President of Asia Pacific and Middle East, Mr. Francois Lancon, said this research is closely aligned to ManpowerGroup’s vision that meaningful and sustainable employment has the power to change the world. “It is encouraging to see the findings of this report align with our own core belief that meaningful work is a key driver of employee happiness, health and productivity,” Mr. Lancon said. “Today, as the acceleration of automation, a greater focus on ESG, and the emergence of generative AI reshapes industries and economies, organizations have more ability than ever to create opportunities for people to engage in purposeful and fulfilling work.” “While ManpowerGroup is committed to identifying and building talent with the right skills to succeed in these new roles, business leaders must have the courage to create opportunities that deliver the type of meaning today’s workforce craves,” Mr. Lancon said.  ManpowerGroup’s Country Manager for Malaysia, Mr Sanjoy Ghose, said, “This has wide-ranging transformative potential and shows that employees want meaning at work not only to enhance their own lives and their families lives, but also to contribute to the betterment of society as a whole. It's unfortunate that only 27% of Malaysian respondents are very satisfied with the level of meaning in their current role.” “I view this as an opportunity. Here, at ManpowerGroup Malaysia, we offer an in-house training program for our client employees that provides trainees with a better understanding of ESG and coaches them on how they can contribute more effectively to corporate initiatives. We also offer completion certifications to graduates that they can use to build their personal brand.This raining when done in conjunction with organizations that engage their employees well in their ESG initiatives is powerful, improves the meaning of work, and helps companies achieve their goals.” “As leaders, we have the opportunity to bring about meaningful change here!” To view complete results for the Jobs_that_makesense Asia – Manpower's The Quest for Meaning at Work Survey, visit: https://www.manpower.com.my/purpose_at_work_southeast_asia_report  ​READ THE REPORTDOWNLOAD PRESS RELEASE​ABOUT THE SURVEY The Jobs_that_makesense Asia – Manpower’s The Quest for Meaning at Work Survey (Southeast Asia) marks the inaugural research endeavor delving into the sentiments of professionals from Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand.

This research, published ahead of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, which features input from 13,000 decision-makers and 8,000 workers from across eight countries and regions, identifies 14 key trends shaping the future of work and impacting today’s employers and the people they employ. These include shifting demographics, individual choice, tech adoption, and competitive drivers. The report also provides guidance on how employers can attract and retain talent in this new age. ​Since ManpowerGroup's announcement of the Human Age over a decade ago at the 2011 WEF Annual Meeting, human capital has become a major differentiator and driver of economic growth. Now, “The New Human Age” assesses the impact of a range of new factors, such as the generational shift in employment expectations, reducing college degree requirements for applicants, the growing divide women in the workforce face, the continuing evolution of hybrid work, and mitigating risk in an ever-changing global economy. ​Download the report​“Over the last few years, we’ve all heard many narratives about robots taking our jobs. What we believed then, and what has come to pass, is that tech can augment human skills rather than replace them. We are now embarking on a New Human Age — a time where people are utilizing technology and digital tools to enhance human connections, be more productive, and live more meaningful lives,” said ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO Jonas Prising. “Our world is getting better, yet to continue to make progress we must be intentional in enhancing human capabilities at scale and speed. The pandemic showed us how quickly we can adapt and cope when needed. We believe equipping people with the skills to leverage technology will create a future of work that is closer to what workers of the future want; it is how we will build a path for all to increase prosperity for the many, not the few.” ​KEY FINDINGS: Growing talent shortages place even more pressure on attracting and retaining talent of every generation; the research found: ​Purpose and balance matter: By 2025, Gen Z will make up 27% of the workforce, and 88% of Gen Z workers say the pandemic has affected what they want from their job vs. 65% of workers 55+. ​It’s time to tear the paper ceiling: In 2022, 75% of companies reported talent shortages. To expand their talent pools, more employers are reducing or eliminating college degree requirements and instead focusing on skills acquired through prior work and life experience. ​Look to older workers to increase workforce participation: Yet only 19% of hiring managers are actively looking to hire returning retirees, creating another disadvantage for older adults. ​Remote/hybrid work promotes balance but could affect career progression – with women most impacted: More women say when working remotely they are less likely to get access to time with senior leaders (37%), learning from others (31%), consideration for a promotion (29%), brainstorming (27%), and collaboration (26%). ​Women are more motivated than men about returning to the office: 41% of women cite sociability/ connection, precise segmentation between work/ home, more efficient collaboration, ease of getting work done, and having a place to focus as factors leading their drive to return. ​Upskill workers or they will upskill themselves: 57% of employees are already pursuing training outside of work, because company training programs don't teach them relevant skills, don't advance their career development, or don't help them stay competitive in the marketplace. ​Humans are seeking more humanity in a post-pandemic workplace: It's not just about getting the job done. People say the ability to collaborate (83%), solve problems (82%), and be trustworthy (82%) are more important to do their job well than simply being a high producer (76%). ​People are voting with their feet: 64% of the workforce would consider looking for a new job if they were required to return to the office full-time and 1 in 3 would take another role in the next month if it offered a better blend of work and lifestyle. ​Both employers and workers believe in-person brainstorming is inherently better: More than 80% of workers and employers believe in-person collaboration generates the most creative ideas and drives camaraderie within the workplace. ​“The New Human Age” trend report is now available at: manpowergroup.com/the-new-human-age​​Download the report​### ​ABOUT THE NEW HUMAN AGE ​The research took place between Nov. 1-25, 2022, conducted among a total of 8,016 workers or people actively looking for work in eight countries and regions: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Norway. In addition, ManpowerGroup surveyed 13,707 hiring decision-makers in these markets. ​ABOUT MANPOWERGROUP    ​ManpowerGroup® (NYSE: MAN), the leading global workforce solutions company, helps organizations transform in a fast-changing world of work by sourcing, assessing, developing, and managing the talent that enables them to win.

​CONTACT:Mohammad Ali Kashif [email protected] ​​Hiring Momentum Continues for Q1, Though Signs of Softening Begin​Employers still face a global talent shortage; the Information Technology sector leads the way in Q1 2023 hiring​While the impact of a potential recession and rising inflation dampens the hiring Outlook quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, employers continue to look for new talent, reporting a solid Net Employment Outlook of +23% for Q1. Strongest hiring intentions among organizations are reported in Panama (+39%), Costa Rica (+35%), and Canada (+34%); weakest in Hungary (-8%), Poland (-2%), and the Czech Republic (+1%). Information Technology (IT) remains the strongest sector (+35%), despite headlines about tech hiring and layoffs. ​Download the report​KUALA LUMPUR (JANUARY 5, 2023) – While cooling this quarter, global demand for talent remains resilient and the race for skills continues, according to the newly released Q1 ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey (NYSE: MAN) of more than 38,000 employers in 41 countries and territories.​An indicator of economic and labor market trends, the Net Employment Outlook – calculated by subtracting the percentage of employers who anticipate reductions to staffing levels from those who plan to hire – now stands at +23%, down 6% from last quarter and 14% from this time last year.​The data suggest that the impact of a possible global recession, rising inflation, and higher cost of doing business has begun to play out in labor markets, with the outlook softening although not as steep as the economic forecasts and headlines would suggest. All industries and sectors indicate hiring more people in the first quarter, and all but one region, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), report positive hiring intentions, suggesting the impact of such challenges is not one size fits all.​“Our report indicates that there are early signs of labor markets softening and hiring intentions moving lower given the economic headwinds we are experiencing,” said ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO Jonas Prising. “Though employers say they are beginning to dial down their hiring plans in some areas, we still see strong demand for specific skills including IT, logistics, and finance. Amidst a cost-of-living crisis, and a depreciation in real-time wages, companies need to think more than ever about attracting and retaining their workers – that might start with pay, yet our data tells us flexibility, career development, and purpose-driven work is worth up to 5% of salary to many workers. There are lots of levers available for companies to attract and retain the talent they need to stay competitive.” ​KEY FINDINGS​Regionally, the strongest hiring intentions for the next quarter are in North America (+31%), and Central and South America (+28%).

The Netherlands and Switzerland fell out of the top 10, predominantly because of aging workforces and TWI’s reduced prioritization of education requirements. Due to the increased specialization within their respective industries, Technology and Telecommunications (which competes for talent with every industry), and Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical Device Manufacturing (due to the time and cost associated with bringing products to market), continue to face significant hiring pressure. ​KUALA LUMPUR, KUL (NOVEMBER 15, 2022) — The ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) Talent Solutions 2022 Total Workforce Index™ (TWI) reveals the U.S., Singapore, and Canada as the highest-ranking labor markets across the globe for sourcing, hiring, and retaining talent. The ninth annual TWI report analyzes more than 200 factors to evaluate skills availability, cost efficiency, regulation, and productivity. These findings were combined with big data and expert analysis to assess the workforce engagement of 69 global markets.​Today’s labor markets are characterized by intense competition for skilled workers, with 75% of companies globally reporting talent shortages and difficulty hiring — a 16-year high according to ManpowerGroup’s 2022 Talent Shortage Survey. This year’s revamped TWI places more emphasis on the impacts of remote work, the growing willingness and flexibility of employers to scale back education requirements, and choosing to skill candidates on the job. There’s also a heavier focus on the age of the workforce. As older workers leave the labor market, more companies are cultivating sustainable populations of talent by prioritizing the availability of large pools of Gen Z and millennial workers. Additionally, cost of living indices, wage inflation rates, and exchange rate volatility are new factors introduced into the TWI based on the significant impact of these issues on organizations and their workforces. This helps to provide a clearer picture of economic stability as companies make workforce mix and location decisions.​“In a digital-first global economy, skilled talent is the new currency for business and economic growth,” said Dave McGonegal, Vice President of Talent Solutions Consulting & Advisory. “Organizations looking to separate from the pack turn to the Index to help them navigate change in real-time. This includes navigating new markets that will enable companies to compete for much-needed talent proactively and creatively, while still meeting business objectives. Companies need to become employers of choice, regardless of location, and factor in the needs most important to employees.”​Download the report​KEY FINDINGS​·The top five markets for cost efficiency are Thailand, Indonesia, Bahrain, South Africa, and the Philippines. These countries are the most employer-friendly in terms of wage growth, cost of labor, government incentives, and remote work readiness. ·The U.S., United Kingdom, and Israel scored favorably in workforce availability with factors including availability of skilled workers, labor force participation, gender participation, remote work capabilities, and access to remote talent. ·Singapore, Ireland, and Australia rank high for having more favorable regulatory environments for sustainable access to on-site and remote talent, due to relaxed border restrictions and geopolitical situations. The U.S., Singapore, and Mexico have the highest potential productivity, including the ability to support remote work, allowing for greater access and ease of work. In Central and Eastern Europe, there’s high demand for IT skills, largely due to lost access to Russian talent, which was one of the world’s largest pools of IT talent. Switzerland and the Nordic countries rose to the top for life sciences manufacturers, with more advanced production requirements, while Mexico finds limitations due to regulations requiring full-time employment. ​When it comes to Technology and Telecommunications, organizations have been challenged by migrations, inflation, and cost of labor, causing them to heavily weigh a range of factors that contribute to long-term sustainability, productivity, and cost efficiency. In heavily regulated industries such as Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical Device Manufacturing companies are finding challenges with cost efficiency and talent availability as specialized skill sets, certifications, and background checks are required for producing medical devices. ​View the full TWI 2022 report (https://talentsolutions.manpowergroup.com/twi) for the complete rankings on markets most favorable to conducting business. ​REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS​APAC — Markets from Singapore to Malaysia and Indonesia to Australia have turned into attractive destinations for companies looking for large populations of skilled remote-ready workers. ​·The Philippines and Malaysia entered the top 10, coming in at eighth and 10th respectively, due to increased demand for offshoring/nearshoring, scaled-back education requirements, and demand for a wider variety of skills needed for back-office environments, shared services, and IT. Thailand held on to the top spot for cost efficiency for the second straight year, while Indonesia jumped from 12th to second due to the index’s increased focus on average wages and total cost. China remains part of a larger global strategy within Pharmaceutical, Biotech, and Medical Device Manufacturing due to its cost efficiency. ​AMERICAS — Mexico rose to ninth overall, up from 53rd in 2021, as it has significantly improved access to full-time, permanent labor. ​Canada moved up 15 spots to fourth as it relates to regulation, with much of the shift attributed to an increased focus on geopolitical risk and the impact of weighting the legislation more heavily to the first one to two years of employment. The U.S., Mexico, and Canada are the top markets for productivity, with the U.S. rising from seventh to first, Mexico jumping from 19th in 2021 to third this year, and Canada retaining its hold on fourth. Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico rise to the top of the Index for Technology and Telecommunications. ​EMEA — The addition of Israel to the top 10 relates to the increased sectors the market can support, particularly IT and engineering, along with high-quality sustainable talent pools of younger workers. ​Israel also benefited from increasing female labor participation rates and a Sunday-Thursday work week, which allows many companies to expand their operating week at no additional cost. The U.K. rose from fourth place in 2021 in availability to second this year due to the size of its emerging workforce. Poland and the Czech Republic have become saturated with opportunities within Technology and Telecommunications as a result of their support for remote work and lower costs. ​​Download the report​ABOUT THE TOTAL WORKFORCE INDEX™​The Total Workforce Index™ scores each market on more than 200 unique factors. Each of these statistical factors is carefully weighted and grouped into one of four categories: Availability, Cost Efficiency, Regulation, and Productivity. ​The markets that rank highest in the Total Workforce Index™ are those with the highest relative performance across all four categories. Markets that perform well have successfully responded to trends, such as remote workforce readiness, building technology infrastructure, and closing skills gaps. They have demonstrated market and geopolitical stability, have relatively high gender participation, and are skilling emerging workforces to meet changing demographic realities. High-ranking markets also exhibit favorable regulatory environments. ​ABOUT MANPOWERGROUP TALENT SOLUTIONS​Talent Solutions combines our leading global offerings RPO, TAPFIN-MSP, and Right Management to help organizations address their complex workforce needs.

Findings also reveal uneven economic growth across markets responding differently to disruptions from the conflict in Ukraine, looming concerns over a possible recession, rising inflation, and higher costs of living. Regardless of those challenges, demand for skilled workers remains at record highs. “Despite economic and geopolitical clouds on the horizon, employer hiring intentions remain strong. Organizations continue to focus on attracting and retaining people as competition for employees remains fierce, even two years after the pandemic first began. That means holding onto — and developing — the talent they have,” said ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO Jonas Prising. “Digital roles continue to drive most of the demand globally with the greatest need for talent with technology skills. The rotation of consumer spending from goods to services continues to create more employment opportunities across hospitality sectors while employers in finance, banking, and insurance compete for skilled workers to fill in-demand roles.” KEY FINDINGS Organizations in the IT industry report the most optimistic Outlook (+42%); followed closely by Banking, Real Estate, and Insurance (+37%).The brightest hiring intentions for next quarter are in the Asia Pacific (+40%) and South and Central Americas (+39%), with the greatest expectations in Brazil (+56%) and India (+54%).Employers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) anticipate relatively stable hiring (+21%), yet Outlooks for countries near Ukraine fall by as much as -17% since last quarter. Global Hiring Plans by Region  North America: Employers in the region remain optimistic in the final quarter of 2022 (+32%).Employers in Canada (+30%) and the U.S. (+33%) report moderate decreases in their Outlooks compared to last quarter, -8% and -5%, respectively, while Puerto Rico reports an overall Outlook of +32%.Both Canada and the U.S. expect hiring to be weaker compared to intentions year-over-year, -6% in Canada and -13% in the U.S.In the U.S., the strongest hiring outlook is seen in IT (+42%). Central and South America: Organizations in all nine countries share strong Outlooks.Hiring managers in Brazil report bullish intentions (+56%), followed by Costa Rica (+52%), and Colombia (+46%); The lowest confidence is seen in Argentina (+9%).Intentions decline versus the previous quarter (-3%) but improve based on the same time last year (+21%).Only two sectors report quarterly improvements: Restaurant and Hotels (+10%) and Primary Production (+2%). Europe, Middle East, and Africa: EMEA employers reveal confidence softening in their Outlook (+21%).Intentions remain the same when compared with Q4 2021 while easing -3% since the last quarter.Outlooks vary across the region with employers most keen to hire in Sweden (+34%), France (+34%), Norway (+33%), and Belgium (+33%), and the most cautious in Hungary (-5%), Greece (-3%), and Poland (+1%).Countries closest to Ukraine are taking a frugal approach in hiring intentions; for example, Hungary dropped 17% since last quarter, and now report an Outlook of -5%. Asia Pacific: Hiring managers across APAC anticipate the most vigorous hiring intentions globally (+40%).India (+54%), China (+46%), and Australia (+38%) report the most positive Outlooks.APAC is the only region where hiring intentions improve from last quarter (+6%) and shows a 20% increase from Q4 2021.China and Hong Kong continue to bounce back from COVID-19 lockdowns prevalent last quarter, both growing 15% since Q3. To view complete results for the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey, visit https://go.manpowergroup.com/meos.

ManpowerGroup was the first company in its industry to have its climate goals validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). ​The company is also actively driving its social mission where it can have the most impact by addressing the growing structural skills shortage by calling on the global community to work together to accelerate impact in the areas of skills development, employability, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). This will help workers prepare for a future of work that is more digital, global, and fast-paced than ever.​An inaugural member of the World Economic Forum’s Alliance for CEO Climate Leaders and a founding member of the World Employment Confederation and many others, ManpowerGroup is an active contributor and believer in collective partnership.

When you’re dealing with people and talent, you’re intimately involved in one of the most important decisions in someone’s lifetime - the choice of a job, career, and income. We know that global economics, current geopolitics, and other accelerating trends are exacerbating the divide between knowledge workers, and skilled and unskilled workers. Unless we act now, we will see a further bifurcation of opportunity and wealth creation by gender, race, education, and skill set, which is not good for economic growth and societal well-being.”​“We believe in shared ambitions to achieve Net Positive on the S and, therefore, we must take a more science-based approach,” says Ruth Harper, chief sustainability and communications officer of ManpowerGroup. “For us, People and Prosperity are core to our business and foundational to our purpose. That’s why we believe in Net Positive employment – so that people are better off whether they stay with us or leave. It means being people first by broadening diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace, increasing people’s individual employability, and providing them with greater control of their prosperity and earning potential so they know more about themselves, understand their potential, and can be confident they have the skills for today and tomorrow.”​Key highlights from the ManpowerGroup 2021-2022 ESG Report:​Planet Reduced operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 39% - significant progress towards its goal of 60% reduction by 2030. Reported on climate to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for the 11th year, with scores higher than industry averages. Activated Planet teams in its 15 largest markets to align globally and deliver locally on its Climate Action Plan. People & Prosperity Focused on closing the skills gap, improving employability and income prosperity, and building a more resilient, future-ready workforce. Transformed 182,000 lives to date through the Manpower MyPath program, providing personalized coaching and upskilling opportunities mapped to in-demand career pathways -- most notably in skilled technical, transportation, and logistics as well as business professionals like those in marketing and sales roles.Committed to championing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in the workplace and to setting an ambitious goal to reach 50% gender diversity at a global leadership level by 2025.

Despite continued talk of the crucial nature of upskilling and reskilling, the latent potential remains untapped among workers in the middle of the tech talent pyramid.‘The New Age of Tech Talent,’ a report from Experis, a global leader in IT professional resourcing and managed services and part of ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), finds that employers need to be more creative and agile in their talent strategy – both inside and outside their organizations. The research suggests that HR leaders should be guided by workforce data, a clear talent philosophy, and a willingness to experiment. “The IT sector is growing quickly," said Jonas Prising, Chairman and CEO of ManpowerGroup. “While there is an acute demand for highly technical candidates, great potential lies within adaptable generalists' candidates that is frequently untapped. This can be detrimental as the soft skills these individuals possess are often the most challenging to find. Companies can look within to fully explore workforce potential and reskill employees to fill gaps and meet their talent needs.” When asked why they were having difficulty filling tech roles, 34% of hiring managers said candidates did not have the right technical skills, 32% said they didn’t have the right relevant experience, and 27% said they didn’t have the right soft skills. The research also cites that 22% of hiring managers have the greatest difficulty finding IT project managers, followed by cybersecurity analysts, software developers, and AI/machine learning specialists (all 20%). The top soft skills employers report are in demand for tech roles include Critical Thinking & Analysis, Creativity & Originality, Reasoning & Problem-Solving, Reliability & Self Discipline, and Resilience & Adaptability.* Ger Doyle, Head of Experis, Digital & Business Innovation adds, “Regardless of sector, the conversation about the technology skills gap often focuses on the most senior and junior roles and ignores existing talent who have strong technical skills and an intuitive sense of the business but may lack exposure to emerging technologies and a roadmap for their future career development.”With so many organizations competing to recruit IT, workers, from the same talent pool, there is a golden opportunity for employers to look further afield. Often, candidates are overlooked because they lack traditional qualifications. Further, recruiting strategies that embrace greater gender and ethnic diversity are also significant in the search for the right IT talent.Findings published in ‘The New Age of Tech Talent’ are based on a survey of 40,000 employers in 40 countries and reveal organizations are accelerating investment in technology and prioritizing Cyber Security (46%), Internet of Things (IoT), (44%) E-Commerce platforms (43%) and Cloud Computing (41%).*The report underscores four ways organizations can bring new thinking to life:​Open the Middle: One in five organizations globally is having trouble finding skilled tech talent, and IT/data skills are the most difficult to find for 30% of organizations. Companies need to increasingly look inward to fill the roles they need, taping workforce potential and reskilling employees to fill gaps and meet the challenges ahead. ​Find the Hidden Talent: The reality of the technology sector is that employers need to be more adaptable, unlock new sources of talent, and recruit based on potential, not necessarily past experience. Traditional approaches focused on filtering candidates according to qualifications. and experiences may not identify those recruits who have the raw qualities that employers require. ​Trust the Data Strategy: To get better results from recruitment, retention, and HR strategies companies can leverage data-analytics tools to make better decisions and reduce attrition. As one in three organizations globally plans to invest more in AI technology including machine learning, over the next year, aptitude and personality assessment tools will enable more effective hiring decisions.​Lead with Confidence: Companies guided by culture and values will be those that best adapt to the new workforce reality and win the war on talent. Significantly, 7 in 10 workers say having leaders that they can trust, and follow is essential to them, and 2 in 3 want to work for organizations that share their values. ​As part of ManpowerGroup’s commitment to be a creator of talent at scale and improving employability and prosperity for all, Experis Academy helps companies to preskill, upskill, and reskill in-demand tech workers and many others at speed and scale – matching them to meaningful, sustainable jobs while helping them grow their skillsets for the future.​​ABOUT MANPOWERGROUP  ManpowerGroup® (NYSE: MAN), the leading global workforce solutions company, helps organizations transform in a fast-changing world of work by sourcing, assessing, developing, and managing the talent that enables them to win.

ManpowerGroup's research reveals what flexibility means for workers and partners with Thriveto explore how they can thrive at work. ​CONTACT: Mohammad-Ali Kashif [email protected]​FROM SURVIVING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC TO THRIVING AT WORK: MANPOWERGROUP RESEARCH EXPLORES WHAT FLEXIBILITY MEANS FOR WORKERS; PARTNERS WITH THRIVE TO IDENTIFY WAYS EMPLOYERS CAN SUPPORT EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING​45% of workers want to choose their own work start and end timesAlmost one-fifth of workers (18%) would work a four-day work week for less payA culture of trust is important; 71% of workers need trust in leadership to thriveWell-being now an essential strategy for hiring and business successKUALA LUMPUR, KUL (JUNE 9, 2022) - Workers are calling for more from their employers to help them shift from surviving to thriving, prioritizing flexibility along with factors such as trust, purpose, and well-being, according to new research from ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), and Thrive, the leading behavior change technology company founded by Arianna Huffington. ​The research “What Workers Want: From Surviving to Thriving at Work,” part of ManpowerGroup’s What Workers Want series, is based on a survey of more than 5,000 workers across five countries and reveals that almost all workers (93%) now view flexibility as important. However, the nature of that flexibility varies. Workers from all backgrounds are now asking for flexibility on their own terms, with 45% wanting to choose their own start and end times, and 18% willing to reduce pay to work a four-day week to achieve better balance. The results also point to a changing role for leaders as trust and shared values are increasingly significant – with workers willing to vote with their feet if they do not feel adequately supported. ​“A lasting legacy of the pandemic will be flexibility, but it’s not one-size-fits-all. Workers want more choice, autonomy, and consideration for their well-being,” said Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO. “We’re seeing the highest talent shortages in 16 years, giving workers at almost every level and in every sector the upper hand. Employers have no choice but to pay attention. The challenge for leaders will be to listen, adapt, and think differently about how to approach flexibility, not just flexible working.” ​ManpowerGroup partnered with Thrive to identify immediate actions that employers can take to support employee well-being. By adopting practices like Entry Interviews, creating a culture of compassionate directness, and encouraging employees to practice Microsteps, companies can create long-lasting cultural change.​​“The disruptions of the past two years have forced us to consider what we really value, and we have a once-in-generation opportunity to rethink the way we work and live,” said Arianna Huffington, Founder, and CEO of Thrive. “We were in the middle of a global epidemic of stress and burnout even before COVID. Then the pandemic hit, and employee well-being and resilience shot to the top of the agenda for companies all over the world. At Thrive, we work with companies who realize that their most important resource is their people. They’re seeing the direct connection between the long-term health of their bottom line and the health and well-being of their employees.” ​Trust is important for a thriving workforce, according to the survey. Trust in colleagues was rated second only to fair pay and safe working conditions by workers (79%), while trust in leaders was rated highly by more than two-thirds (71%). Additionally, people want to work for companies that share their values and beliefs, with 70% seeking meaning in their daily work. ​The pandemic put mental health firmly at the top of public and corporate agendas and workers now see well-being as a shared responsibility with employers. Stress levels have dropped since the peak of the pandemic (42% to 38%) but are still higher than pre-March 2020. Increasingly, employers will be called on to address burnout, build resilience, and boost mental fitness.​The What Workers Want: From Surviving to Thriving at Work data provides clear insight and practical recommendations for organizations to understand what workers want to thrive at work, and what employers need to do now to ensure both organizations and individuals are primed to succeed.​Explore the new research: What Workers Want: From Surviving to Thriving at Work here. ​​​​About ManpowerGroupManpowerGroup® (NYSE: MAN), the leading global workforce solutions company, helps organizations transform in a fast-changing world of work by sourcing, assessing, developing, and managing the talent that enables them to win.

Yet that optimism is being tempered by the highest levels of global talent shortages in 15 years with 69% of employers reporting difficulty-filling vacancies. As childcare challenges, health concerns, and unemployment support programs continue, employers report the most difficulty filling roles that cannot be done remotely. ​More than 10,000 employers in the seven Asia Pacific countries and territories took part in the ManpowerGroup survey on hiring prospects for the July to September time frame. Employers in six of the seven countries and territories expect to add to payrolls during the next three months, while a flat labor market is expected in one. In comparison with the prior quarter, hiring plans to strengthen in three countries (China, Japan, and Hong Kong) and weaken in three (Taiwan, Singapore, and India)​Compared with all other regions, 15% of APAC employers plan to have employees work remotely all of the time, compared with just 5% in EMEA and 3% in the Americas Half of employers in APAC are the most optimistic about a return to pre-pandemic hiring levels by the end of 2022 (49%) China reports one of its strongest outlooks in years. Its Finance, Insurance & Real Estate sector outlook of +19% is the strongest reported since 2013 ​​View the complete Q3 2021 ManpowerGroup Employment Survey results: MEOS​The Chinese labor market is forecast to make a strong recovery from the impact of the pandemic during the coming quarter, with employers reporting the strongest hiring intentions in six years. Workforce gains are expected in all six Chinese industry sectors, with the strongest hiring sentiment reported in the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate, Services, Manufacturing, and the Wholesale & Retail Trade sectors – Outlooks for these four sectors are also the strongest reported in at least six years. ​For the fourth consecutive quarter, the strongest hiring climate in the Asia Pacific region is expected in Taiwan, fueled in part by bright hiring plans for the Mining & Construction sector and a brisk hiring pace in the Manufacturing sector, where the Outlook for the coming quarter is the strongest in six years. ​However, Hong Kong employers expect the subdued labor market to continue during the next three months, forecasting flat hiring activity overall, although limited payroll growth is expected in the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate, and Services sectors. ​In India, employers expect a modest increase in payrolls during the upcoming quarter, although hiring sentiment is slightly weaker when compared with the prior quarter, reflecting the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in the country. While the Manufacturing sector labor market continues to be relatively stable, the Services sector is slightly weaker when compared to the prior quarter and the Outlook in the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate sector is the weakest since the survey began in 2005. ​The upbeat hiring pace in Australia is expected to continue during the July to September period. The strongest hiring prospects in 10 years are reported by employers in the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate sector while the Services sector forecast improves sharply year-over-year. Elsewhere, the Mining & Construction sector is the strongest in more than two years following four consecutive quarters of improvement. ​Steady payroll growth is anticipated in Singapore for a third consecutive quarter, driven in part by an active labor market in the Finance, Insurance & Real Estate sector where employers report the strongest Outlook in more than six years and a steep increase year-over-year in the Services sector, while the Manufacturing sector forecast is the strongest in nine years. ​Job seekers in Japan can expect a fair hiring pace in the next three months, according to employers who report a moderate increase in hiring prospects when compared with the previous quarter. Hiring sentiment strengthens in all seven Japanese industry sectors when compared with three months ago, most notably in the Manufacturing, Wholesale & Retail Trade and Services sectors. ​ “Sam’s line.” ​​Global Hiring Plans by other Region ​AMERICAS: All ten countries report positive employment outlooking for the forthcoming quarter The most positive hiring intentions are reported in the U.S. (+25%), - its strongest outlook in 21 years - followed by Costa Rica (+9%) and Guatemala (+9%) The weakest outlooks are reported in Panama (+1%), Argentina (+1%), and Peru (+2%) One quarter (24%) of employers in the Americas were concerned about the impact of remote work on the productivity of employees In the U.S., the strongest sector is anticipated in Leisure & Hospitality where the bullish outlook of +41% is the strongest since the sector was first analyzed separately in 2009​EMEA: Hiring plans strengthen in 22 countries, weaken in two (Czech Republic and Turkey) The strongest hiring intentions are reported in Ireland (+15%), Greece (+15%) and Croatia (+14%), with the weakest in Spain (+4%), the Czech Republic (+4%) and South Africa (+1%) Nearly half (45%) of EMEA employers expect hiring levels to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2022 As lockdown restrictions lift, in the UK, the Hotels & Retail sector outlook is the strongest in two years, standing at +8% ​​To view complete results for the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey, visit MEOSThe next survey will be released on September 07 2021 and will report hiring expectations for Q4 2021. ​The Employment Outlook Survey – conducted April 2021 – is the most comprehensive, forward-looking employment survey of its kind, used globally as a key economic indicator.

It identifies the proportion of employers who report difficulty-filling positions in their organization. It reports on which jobs employers say are most difficult to fill, and identifies candidate shortcomings that are preventing employers from filling positions. Employers are also asked to gauge the degree of impact talent shortages have on their organizations and which strategies they are using to overcome the skills gap. ​ABOUT MANPOWERGROUP MALAYSIAManpowerGroup® is the world’s workforce expert, creating innovative workforce solutions for 23 years in Malaysia.

​Contact: Name: Mohammad Kashif Phone: +60 3 2087 0132 Email [email protected]​​KUALA LUMPUR, Mar. 4, 2021 – The Covid-19 health crisis and continued lockdown in many markets is posing unparalleled challenges to people and businesses around the world. ​“We can, yet, see the job market recovering and presenting many opportunities across various sectors even though Malaysia’s GDP is expected to have shrunken by between 3.5% to 5.5% in 2020”. ​On a monthly basis, ManpowerGroup monitors several job boards in Malaysia to examine market developments. Though with varying degrees of volume, talent is needed across all skillsets.​But, applying for a job can be a difficult and daunting task for many especially in a pandemic. With that in mind and decades of expertise in the Malaysian job market, ManpowerGroup Malaysia developed Post Pandemic Job Hunting Guide to help job seekers land successful careers. ​The Post Pandemic Job Hunting Guide is a valuable resource for job seekers right now. It provides: Tips for Cover E-mails. A strong cover e-mail can be the key to getting a foot in the door. If job seekers don’t get the cover e-mail right, they may never get the opportunity to attract the attention of employers with information about the candidate’s suitability for the new role.​Tips for Resumes.Whether a fresh grad, a professional looking for growth, or someone who wants to have a career switch, how job seekers can get resumes to stand out from the competition? In many ways, a resume is the first step toward a future career, as it’s usually the first thing a hiring manager sees. It’s important to make a good impression by presenting a clean and concise resume that details your qualifications for the open role. ​LinkedIn Techniques. LinkedIn profiles allow presenting of professional skills to millions of hiring managers. Not only is it a great way of networking with professionals in a chosen industry, but it can also be used to promote achievements and build up a professional online presence. The key to using LinkedIn effectively is to make sure the profile is 'discoverable' to employers and agencies.​Recruitment Agencies. The competition in the market is intense and finding a job has become tougher than ever especially in this pandemic. So, having correct guidance and support through a job search can create a huge difference. This is the advantage of reputed recruitment agencies because they are accountable to facilitate the hiring process for candidates and provide the best fit for a vacant position. ​Upskilling. Perhaps one of the most dramatic impacts of the pandemic has been the unprecedented numbers of laid-off employees and high unemployment rates. It accelerated the need for re-skilling and upskilling. The guide shares several useful portals to gain knowledge and stay up to date with developments.​Handling Rejections. Being turned down for a role in many cases has an emotional impact on individuals. The guide shares tips on how to handle such situations and turn them into an advantage for future opportunities. To download the full report Post Pandemic Job Hunting Guide Post Pandemic Job Hunting Guide  About ManpowerGroup® ManpowerGroup® (NYSE: MAN), the leading global workforce solutions company, helps organizations transform in a fast-changing world of work by sourcing, assessing, developing, and managing the talent that enables them to win.
