Korn Ferry Identifies Emerging Global Talent Trends For 2019 HR in ASIA

Based on input from talent acquisition, development and compensation experts from across the globe, Korn Ferry has identified emerging global talent trends for 2019. "Several factors, including an incredibly tight labour market and the massive influx of data are impacting the way HR professionals and talent acquisition leaders are doing their jobs," said Pip Eastman, Managing Director, Asia Pacific Regional Solutions for Korn Ferry's RPO and Professional Search Business. "For small economies like Singapore, these issues will become even more poignant in the face of the looming talent crunch and resulting salary surge. To succeed in attracting, developing and retaining top talent as we head into another year, companies will need to stay ahead of the rising importance of artificial intelligence and talent analytics while being agile and forward thinking in their talent management strategy." Traditionally, employers raised eyebrows when candidates had employment gaps in their resumes for reasons such as caring for children or aging loved ones, or simply learning a new skill or travelling.
