Hays, the world’s specialist leader in workforce solutions and recruitment, has revealed that while most organisations are worried about skill shortages, only half of workers believe the learning resources provided by their employers meet their requirements to allow them to upskill within their role in a constantly evolving world of work. This contrasts with 60% of employers who believe the resources they offer meet the needs of their workers. 

Hays, a world-leading recruitment expert, previously released the "2022 Hays Greater China Salary Guide Technology Industry Supplement", which pointed out that the technology industry in Mainland China and Hong Kong is facing a new round of transformation and development. The demand for talents in numerous sub-sectors will further increase.

The speed of change the world of work has experienced and will continue to undergo necessitates an updated approach to overcome current and future workforce challenges in Asia, says Hays, the global leader in workforce solutions and specialist recruitment. 

According to web polls conducted by Hays, the world leading specialist in workforce solutions and recruitment, young people entering employment don’t have the necessary skills, and relevant work opportunities could be a barrier to obtaining them. 

Hays, the global leader in workforce solutions and specialist recruitment, has unveiled a major brand refresh and repositioning to better meet the changing needs of organisations and professionals in the rapidly evolving world of work. 

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 (“Technology Salary Guide”) today. As an extension of the 2022 Hays Asia Salary Guide ("Asia Salary Guide”), the Technology Salary Guide zoomed specifically into the technology industry in Greater China. Grounded on in-depth interviews with more than 1,000 professionals and senior executives from the mainland of China and Hong Kong SAR, the Technology Salary Guide analysed salary and talent market trends and elaborated on the opportunities and challenges of the Chinese Technology industry in 2022.

More than a year after the broad crackdowns on the Technology industry in China, many organisations have had to reassess their business models and strategies to adapt to the regulatory changes. More recently, major cities that house some of China’s homegrown Internet giants and well-known international technology firms like Shenzhen and Shanghai are on high alert as they deal with a resurgence of Covid-19 cases threatening the established status quo. 

Recruiting experts Hays conducted a survey of nearly 1000 people in Asia to find out if diversity policies have an impact on career progression. 43% said it was a barrier at their organisation while 57% said it was not. Further homing in on survey responses in China found that 80% of respondents did not think diversity was a barrier to career progression at their organisations.    
 

Hays, a world leading recruitment agency, today released its Asia Salary Guide 2022 (“the Guide”), in which it surveyed more than 3,000 employers and nearly 10,000 professionals in the mainland of China, Hong Kong SAR, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan, with an aim to understand the trends for salary and human resource in 15 sectors of interest.

With younger workers amongst the worst affected by the pandemic, Hays CEO Alistair Cox says it is the duty of business leaders to act and support this generation of workers.
