With 89% of professionals<br \/>\nindicating an interest to change jobs and strong demand for talent in the<br \/>\ntechnology and sustainable energy industries, healthy hiring activity is<br \/>\nanticipated. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Mark Tibbatts, Managing Director of Michael Page Taiwan, says, &#8220;Sustainable<br \/>\nenergy is earmarked to be the strongest performer, being the largest emerging<br \/>\nsector in Taiwan by 2020 and a key link in Taiwan&#8217;s economic strategy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">According to the report, sustainable energy companies are willing to<br \/>\noffer average salary increases of more than 18% for new hires in 2021, the<br \/>\nhighest of any industry. 78% of this industry&#8217;s professionals stated their<br \/>\ninterest in seeking new opportunities in 2021. Mark Tibbatts advises, &#8220;As economic activity picks up in Taiwan, companies are likely to compete<br \/>\nfor high potential experts, which means it is even more important for companies<br \/>\nto stand out from the competition with strong employer branding.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Despite an optimistic<br \/>\noutlook, Taiwanese companies must continue to focus on innovation, product<br \/>\ndevelopment and supply chain management. &#8220;These areas will help companies<br \/>\nfind new revenue streams and get through the recovery with a stronger and more<br \/>\npowerful posture. Moreover, Taiwan&#8217;s economy still has a strong need for a<br \/>\nquality workforce,&#8221; Mark Tibbatts continues.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">As Taiwan&#8217;s professionals<br \/>\ncontinue to seek flexibility and work-life balance, mental health and wellbeing<br \/>\nremain at the forefront of job seekers priorities when identifying an employer<br \/>\nof choice. 65% of respondents ranked the company&#8217;s culture above &#8216;possible career<br \/>\ngrowth opportunities&#8217; (54%) and &#8216;company mission and values aligned with theirs&#8217;<br \/>\n(53%) when selecting a potential hiring manager.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In addition to<br \/>\nrecruitment insights and industry analysis on the Taiwanese job market, the report also shares new insights across the Asia Pacific market on related<br \/>\ntopics such as digital readiness, organisational structure, flexible working,<br \/>\nleadership, performance management, and diversity and inclusion. <\/p>\n<p>Across the Asia Pacific region, the COVID-19<br \/>\npandemic dealt a major blow to the global economy across all sectors and<br \/>\nmarkets in 2020. Job vacancies dropped by 8% to 35% depending on the location.<br \/>\nSeveral businesses reported a conservative approach to their hiring strategy,<br \/>\nchoosing instead to freeze or even reduce their headcount in order to reduce<br \/>\ncosts. However the reduced rate of hiring was not an indication that businesses<br \/>\nshut out all qualified talent altogether. We saw very positive trends upward<br \/>\nfrom Q2 to Q3, and Q4 versus Q3 2020. Optimism exists in 2021, as 42% of<br \/>\nbusinesses in Asia Pacific said that they are already looking to increase<br \/>\nheadcount in the year. <\/p>\n<p>New ways of working emerged rapidly as<br \/>\nemployees adapted to the new normal. The driving force behind the changes was<br \/>\nthe digital transformation which became top priority for all businesses<br \/>\novernight. 68% of companies intend to increase investment in technology and<br \/>\ndigital tools in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>As a viable option to bridge skill gaps<br \/>\narising from investment in digital tools and organisation redesign, 20% of<br \/>\ncompanies in Asia Pacific cited prioritising short-term contractors\/temporary<br \/>\nemployment in their 2021 hiring strategy. This is an increase from 15% in 2019.\n<\/p>\n<p>While the boundaries of work-life balance<br \/>\nwere debated in 2020, 4 in 5 employees were found to feel equally or more<br \/>\nproductive working from home, only 5% of them prefer to work completely<br \/>\nremotely. This indicates a need for frequent social interaction with co-workers.<br \/>\nWith this, 51% of organisations evolved their performance evaluations. To<br \/>\nreflect the times of crisis, management teams started reassessing individuals with<br \/>\ngreater importance placed on positive behaviours, 64% of companies rated team<br \/>\ncollaboration as the most valued employees attribute during times of<br \/>\ncrisis.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><b>Editor&#8217;s note:<\/b> <i>The <\/i><i>Michael Page Taiwan\u00a0Talent Trends 2021 Report features insights and<br \/>\nmarket sentiment in Asia Pacific on prominent recruitment and talent-related<br \/>\ntopics including digital readiness, organisational design, flexible work,<br \/>\nleadership, performance management and diversity and inclusion.
