According to a recent survey by global talent company Randstad, three out of 10 employees in Singapore have never used AI tools at their workplaces.
The survey also found that 43 percent of Gen Xers have never used AI at work.
Approximately 30 percent of survey respondents, especially younger generations, use AI daily or frequently in their work.
Additionally, the 13th annual Employer Brand Research conducted in January 2024 surveyed over 173,000 respondents globally, including 2,602 individuals in Singapore.
Furthermore, three-quarters of respondents in Singapore reported that AI has impacted their jobs to some extent. While 34 percent anticipate significant effects due to AI, 14 percent expect no impact at all.
When it comes to job satisfaction, Millennials are the most optimistic about AI’s impact, while nine percent of Gen Zers feel that AI has lowered their job satisfaction, the highest among the surveyed working generations.
When considering ideal employers, respondents in Singapore prioritize “good work-life balance” over “attractive salary and benefits.” Many active job seekers aim to improve work-life balance, especially Gen Zers and Millennials.
The survey also found that some Gen Zers and Millennials receive financial support from their employers to cope with inflation, while others do not receive any support at all. This lack of support is more pronounced among Gen Xers and Baby Boomers.
In conclusion, the survey results reflect a conservative approach by employees in Singapore, as they prioritize work-life balance and seek employers who support this balance. This shift highlights the importance of a supportive work environment in attracting and retaining talent in today’s job market.
