Thousands of job positions left empty in 2010

CAREER EXPERT

Singapore - Figures from the latest Ministry of Manpower’s Job Vacancies Report found that employers struggled to fill thousands of jobs for extended periods last year.

In fact, the number of job vacancies left unfilled for at least six months soared to 15,360 in September 2010 - the highest figure in five years.

Rank-and-file work made up 80 percent of all unfilled job vacancies, while the other 20 percent of jobs were white-collar positions.

Dear Chris,

The services sector also accounted for 75.4 percent of all job openings last year, while manufacturing contributed 17.1 percent.

As a result of increasing workloads within my IT business, I’m planning to employ additional staff over the coming months. I want to attract the best talent however I’m aware there are skill shortages in the industry. Before I advertise the roles, can you offer any advice on salaries in the IT sector?

In the news C pil Com p ed by Lis Lisa a Cheo Cheo heong ng

Regards, Toby

Dear Toby,

Singapore - Employers in the financial sector are likely to maintain their hiring levels for employees with certain skill sets this coming year, said headhunting firm Robert Walters in its latest Financial Services Sector report.

According to the report, banks are likely to maintain their demand for relationship managers and credit professionals, especially for those with specific skill sets in structured trade finance, factoring, commodities or financial institutions.

The hiring forecast for the local investment banking sector is also likely to be sustained throughout the year as well. Banks are likely to gravitate towards candidates with strong academic backgrounds and a proven track record in investment banking within other top-tier banks.

With sustainable growth in the wealth management sector in both the private and priority sectors, Robert Walters expects to see a steady demand for wealth management bankers in Singapore. However, the lack of experienced bankers in Singapore may compel banks to recruit from overseas candidate pools instead.

Perfectly fine to looking for a new job on a lunch break, employees say UK - More than half (60%) of employees say they would use their office computer to look for a new job during their lunch break - provided their boss isn’t around to see it.

A recent survey among 3,000 UK workers by serviced office provider Business Environment also found that as a result of the recession, office workers are starting to take significantly shorter lunch breaks to cope with their higher work loads.

More than half of respondents said they took less than 30 minutes for lunch, with an additional 18% saying they usually work during their lunch break.

On the other hand, 71% of respondents felt it was acceptable to use a work phone for personal calls, as did 54% who spent some of their work time using the internet for personal reasons, particularly online shopping.

Holding non-executive directors to higher standards of corporate governance Singapore - Leading accountancy bodies Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (ICPAS) and Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that aims to increase awareness of the role of non-executive directors and improve their skills.

Under this MoU, ICPAS and ICAEW will work together to increase transparency and enhance corporate governance. By developing a bespoke training programme for non-executive directors in Singapore, the training aims to equip existing and aspiring non-executive directors with the latest international best practices and regulatory requirements specific to Singapore.

Dr Ernest Kan, ICPAS President, said: “ICPAS is committed to promoting good corporate governance, which is crucial to the stability of our financial markets and Singapore’s reputation as a leading global financial centre. By offering the programme for aspiring and existing non-executive directors, ICPAS and ICAEW are addressing a vital market need.”

The best jobs for 2011 revealed Global - Are you a historian, dental hygienist or an audiologist? If so, your job was recently said to be one of the best jobs for the year, according to Careercast.com.

The top professions were rated as positions which give the best overall experience for workers. These positions also offer a comfortable work environment, few intense physical demands, better than average income and had comparatively low stress.

In the news

Hiring forecasts for finance employees remain strong in 2011

Singapore’s jobs market is now very active so salaries will be top of mind for both candidates and employers.

Hays will release a Salary Guide for Asia in February which outlines typical salary ranges for various roles across 17 industries. We surveyed more than 200 employers here in Singapore and many companies indicated they will be increasing headcount in 2011.

Within the IT sector, there will be a lot of recruitment activity in the first three quarters of 2011 as many projects start their first phase of hiring and project implementation. This means competition for talent will be high.

There are a number of strategies you can use to attract the best candidates and salaries are of course a good place to start. In the IT industry, base salaries are expected to increase by up to 20 per cent while exceptional candidates can receive increases of up to 25 per cent.

However don’t let salaries be your only drawcard. Candidates are carefully considering their choice of employer and looking towards future career stability rather than a short-term fix.

As such non-monetary benefits have grown in importance, so consider training and development and clear career advancement opportunities.

If your workloads are varied, you might also consider hiring staff on a temporary basis. Temporary staff have high levels of skills and experience, are available at short notice, and can fill even the most specialist role. They are a proactive solution to keep a business moving forward.

Besides offering flexibility, engaging temporary workers ensures you have the resources available when required but carries none of the financial risk.

In addition, a temporary employee is paid for the hours they work, so you keep a tight control on staffing costs and ensure productivity remains at optimum levels.

Temporary assignments are also popular with candidates. In fact, many develop successful careers as professional interim workers.

Temporary assignments allow a candidate to control their work/ life balance and gain exposure to a broader range of opportunities and depth of experience.

I do hope this advice helps. And watch out for our 2011 Salary Guide, available on hays.com.sg later this month.

Be passionate about whatever you do everyday. Work is a daily affair; hence it is very important that you have got to like what you do. Only then, will you be able to perform your very best.

Deborah Ong Human Capital Partner PricewaterhouseCoopers Singapore

What are some of your personal traits which you think has led to your business success?

As the PwC Singapore Human Capital Partner and an Assurance Partner, the ability to multi-task and ability to assume multiple roles is pretty much a prerequisite. My strong organisational skills have helped me to plan ahead and anticipate the challenges ahead. I thrive on challenges and embracing each new challenge with enthusiasm has contributed to where I am today.

What is your biggest challenge as a business leader?

The challenge to deliver a consistent experience to our people comes to mind.

The snow is here! Well, not right here. But in the colder parts of the northern hemisphere, it’s definitely a-fallin’. KATE MALLORD presents a quartet of quality ski-andsnowboard spots in Europe – secret gems where you’ll get your winter sports fix no matter what level or vibe you’re after.

Beginners

Cervinia, Italy Cervinia offers miles of easy skiing on sunny slopes, and at 2,050m it’s high enough to get plenty of snow.

Nearly all the runs can be skied by intermediates, and though there are lots of reds runs on the piste map, they’re more like beginner slopes in other resorts. Fast learners will be going from the top to the bottom of the mountain within just a few days. More experienced skiers and boarders in your group can ride over the Swiss border to the bumps and powder in Zermatt – they just need to remember to take their passport!

Cervinia is on the Italian side of the Matterhorn, so the views are stunning. The village is traffic-free and has some great restaurants.

Rest your head: For a bit of luxury, opt for the Relais et Château Hermitage on the outskirts of the village. Or the Excelsior Planet, a spa hotel close to the nursery slopes.

Mapped: The closest airport is Turin, a two-hour drive from Cervinia. Most hotels will be able to arrange transfers to the resort. www.cervinia.it

Mixed abilities and families Morzine, France

Just an hour and a half from Geneva airport, Morzine is close enough to touch down in Europe in the morning, and be out on the slopes in the afternoon. The resort has lots of gentle, wooded runs, so bad weather rarely causes problems. It’s just off the massive Portes du Soleil (one of the biggest ski circuits in Europe), so it’s perfect for keen piste-bashers. The neighbouring and piste-linked resort of Avoriaz is home to the famous Burton Stash snowboard park and the village also boasts a half pipe and another three terrain parks. For experts, the Swiss Wall’s one kilometre of moguls (part of the Portes du Soleil) will be an irresistible challenge, plus there’s some good off-piste, too.

Rest your head: Few ski resorts do the chalet experience (airport transfers, breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner included) better than Morzine. TG Ski’s Chalet Amis is an excellent example of this. Guests are woken with a hot drink and ferried about during the day, then sit down to a four-course meal in the evening with free-flow wine; there’s a hot-tub, a sauna and a foosball table.

Mapped: Fly to Geneva and your chalet will organise a transfer. www.morzine-avoriaz.com

Executive Lifestyle

10 Feburary - 23 Feburary 2011 (Issue 72)

Experts and powder hounds Andermatt, Switzerland

Andermatt offers high and steep terrain that towers above a sleepy but attractive village blessed with an impeccable snow record and endless powder bowls. It’s worth hiring a guide to explore the countless north-facing lines on the almost-3,000m main peak called Gemsstock, accessed by a cable car. This isn’t the resort for après, but you probably don’t want any distraction from getting first lift in the morning.

Visit soon if you want to make the most of its deserted slopes, because an Egyptian billionaire has bought the disused army barracks and plans to develop them into a $1,2-billion resort, doubling the resort’s capacity in the process.

Rest your head: The three-star Hotel Sonne has been run by the same family for four generations and is between the centre of the village and the main lift. The River House is a small but stylish B&B, restaurant and bar.

Mapped: The nearest airport is Zurich and, because this is Switzerland, transferring from the airport by train is a doddle. It’s about a twohour journey. www.andermatt.ch

Park rats and party animals Mayrhofen, Austria

Home of Snowbombing, the biggest music festival in the Alps, Mayrhofen is one of the best season-long party towns in winter sports. The Speak Easy Arena has live music and table-top dancing till 4am and there’s something pretty cool about partying all night in an igloo at the White Lounge icehotel. And where there’s a party there’s always plenty of baggy-panted park rats – the young riders who spend most of the day lounging around the snowboard park. So it’s no surprise that Mayrhofen’s Vans Peken Park has some of the best kickers (jumps) and rails in Europe. Four different skill levels sort the men from the boys. It starts with an easy line with a cute mini-bump and goes right up to the Pro line – for boarders and skiers of steel who are prepared to ride off a 19m kicker. There’s also some good skiing for strong intermediates, while the Zillertaler Superski lift pass covers some smaller resorts a short drive down the valley that are well worth exploring, too.

Rest your head: Spend a night in one of the White Lounge’s igloo suites, or try the five-star Elisabeth, built in traditional Austrian style with a luxurious heated pool in the basement.

Mapped: Mayrhofen is just over an hour from Innsbruck airport, but international flights are more frequent to Munich, just under three hours’ drive away. www.andermatt.ch
