Human Resources
Market Overview & Salaries
The beginning of 2022 saw hiring activity increase by the end of Q1 compared to much of 2021.
Sectors that were previously most impacted by the pandemic, such as retail and hospitality, started hiring again. Similarly, in the financial services industry, 2022 was an active year regarding the overall recruitment appetite for HR professionals. Organisations had higher expectations of the people they considered hiring as they continued to refine teams using leaner models and structures. Developing the right capability within a finite headcount proved critical for most organisations.
The pandemic changed HR trends in the Asia Pacific.
In recent years, HR candidates prioritised what they were looking for from their employers when deciding where to work. Company stability, flexible working arrangements and D&I strategies were all notable priorities for HR candidates to determine which career opportunities most resonated.
Many companies have implemented a permanent hybrid work model. A 'healthy workplace' is also very much emphasised in this new working environment, where employees seek empathetic, supportive, and authentic leaders and managers.
Digital transformation, implementation of new systems/HRIS, employee experience and data analytics to make HR decisions continued to be evident in 2022, just as they were in 2021.
