Hays Plc, a leading global professional recruiting group is pleased to announce the launch of the 2022 Hays Salary Guide for the Technology industry in Greater China (“the Guide”) today. Being the first of its kind, the Guide is a supplement to the Hays Asia Salary guide and reveals prominent technology industry trends and findings based on an in-depth survey of over 1,000 workers in the technology industry in Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR.
Despite the continued challenges from the pandemic, employers in Hong Kong SAR are more upbeat about business activity in 2022 and plan to hire more.
Throughout the pandemic, the disruptions to the world of work have given people time and space to really reflect on their personal and professional lives and how to draw the balance between both, making them more selective about roles and companies they choose to join.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), which assesses the sustainability and societal impact of businesses, has gathered significant momentum in recent years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many businesses into survival mode and in some cases sustainability efforts slipped down priority lists. As the world begins to recover from the global pandemic, businesses must again move substantiality back near the top of their agenda.
2020 opened amidst concerns centring on a constricting global economy, trade enmity, and a general ‘slobalisation’ as countries worldwide turned towards more protectionist practices. However, the pandemic upset all predictions, bringing with it a new set of challenges for companies and their employees to face. But as 2021 begins, though uncertainty remains, according to the 2021 Asia Salary Guide report by leading recruitment experts Hays, there is an underlying hope for the year ahead.
Nearly four out of ten professionals have said their mental health and wellbeing has been impacted negatively during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a recent global survey by recruiting experts Hays.
As COVID-19 continues to impact the way people live and work around the world, not only businesses but individuals themselves are undergoing a transformation, says recruiting experts Hays.
While organisations in Hong Kong continue to brave against the hurdles presented by COVID-19, successful containment efforts have resulted in most businesses operating at full capacity.
The ongoing remote working revolution is not only changing the way organisations function, but also the way they hire. Many organisations in Hong Kong are now interviewing remotely, which has led to faster and more efficient hiring processes.
The COVID-19 crisis has ushered in a new era in the world of work that is impacting both jobseekers and hiring organisations.
The events of 2020 have directly impacted the permanent hiring market in Hong Kong as businesses revaluate their financial resources and focus on curbing their spend.
While most organisations in Hong Kong have returned to work, continued disruptions and the ongoing pandemic has led to a sustained need and demand for remote working options amongst staff. To effectively manage this while maintaining productivity, many organisations are now adopting hybrid working models – where the workforce is split between those in the office and those working remotely.
