Work-life balance, pay, and the availability of opportunities for career advancement emerged as the top three factors in their career that Singaporean employees consider most important.
The survey showed that male respondents are more concerned with maintaining a healthy work-life balance, with 38 percent of men believing it to be of priority, whilst only 24 percent of women share this sentiment.
Female respondents are however more concerned with compensation and benefits, with 38 percent believing it to be primary factor in achieving job satisfaction, as compared to 28 percent of male counterparts.
While some companies have implemented flexible work options to address the issue of work-life balance, more than half of those surveyed said they still do not have access to such alternatives.
Only 39 per cent of respondents reported having some type of flexible work schedule, and 26 per cent of this group said they have used flexible work options for more than three years.
While an equal number of men and women are dissatisfied with their current job, women are less likely to look for opportunities elsewhere as compared to men, with only half as many women as men exploring for job alternatives.
The survey also showed that close to half of both male and female respondents agreed that they need to consistently sacrifice time with family in order to achieve career success. This is reflected in the findings in other Asian countries such as Malaysia and China.
