In the lead up to the announcement of the Most Attractive Employer this year, we are excited to unveil the top employers in Hong Kong SAR running for this coveted title.
what is special about the 2021 employer brand research?
Following months-long local political unrest, the COVID-19 pandemic has dealt another heavy blow to Hong Kong’s business environment. Locally, the economy had contracted by 6.1% in 2020, with the tourism, trading and logistics industries most impacted by the global pandemic.
As companies continue to face complex challenges amid this uncertain climate, many management teams debated on where they should save and/or invest in - digitalisation, human capital or both.
The pandemic has also significantly changed the experiences, motivations and priorities of workers and job seekers. As employees find more comfort and productivity working from home, the demand for better work-life balance may be even more significant than before. For some workers, having no flexible work option could be a deal-breaker.
Organisations looking to improve their employer brand perception can no longer rely on their prior understanding, more so if they lack new data on their brand attractiveness amid the new normal. Taken together, employers are finding it difficult to pinpoint gaps in their existing talent strategies.
With an estimated 2,500 locally-based survey respondents, Randstad Hong Kong’s 2021 Employer Brand Research aims to fill this knowledge gap between businesses and the workforce.
The report is the most representative and inclusive employer brand analysis to have been conducted since the start of COVID-19. It offers a fresh perspective and an accurate reflection of employer attractiveness, as well as how it has changed since the pandemic so that organisations like yours can develop and implement high-impact employer brand initiatives to attract and retain the best talent.
