Two-Thirds of Employees in Singapore Considering Changing Employers Within the Next 12 Months, Aon Study Finds
- 65 percent of employees are willing to sacrifice existing benefits for a better choice of benefits
- 45 percent agree that their compensation is fair compared to similar roles
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 February 2025 – Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today released results from its 2025 Human Capital Employee Sentiment Study. The global study of more than 9,000 employees across 23 geographies, including the U.S., China, India and Australia, found that two-thirds of employees in Singapore are considering changing employers.
Aon’s study found 60 percent of employees globally might or will seek new employment in the next 12 months, revealing widespread dissatisfaction with their current job. This percentage is even higher in Singapore, at 67 percent, underscoring the urgency for Singaporean businesses to adapt their Human Capital strategies to meet the evolving expectations of its workforce.
With 21 percent of Singapore employees feeling undervalued compared to 13 percent globally, employers should ensure a consistent and continual investment in their employees to help mitigate workload pressures and retain their brightest talent.
“In a competitive market, it is imperative businesses build a fair and equitable workplace in which employees are rewarded for their efforts and results. Employers in Singapore must rethink their total rewards strategy to address both professional and personal needs,” said Rahul Chawla, partner and head of Talent Solutions for southeast Asia at Aon. “Designing a holistic employee value proposition that recognises unique work motivations utilising data and analytics will help build a resilient workforce and enhance the employee experience.”
Top 5 Most Influential Characteristics Attracting Employees in Singapore
“Although the expectation of above-average pay might be a key driver for employees leaving organisations, the survey also indicates a trust issue with less than half of participants feel their compensation is fair and more than a third lack confidence that their employer ensures pay equality regardless of gender. Employers therefore must do a lot more to ascertain their market positioning and communicate it confidently to build trust in the process,” added Chawla.
The top five valued benefits for the Singapore workforce are:
- Medical coverage
- Paid time off
- Work-life balance programs
- Flexible benefits
- Career development
Top employee expectations for Singapore
- 44 percent say employers should support employee wellbeing.
- 24 percent say employers should support with eldercare or family care.
- 24 percent say employers should help employees save for retirement/long term needs.
Medical coverage and paid time off were top valued benefits
Medical Coverage and Paid Time Off were in the top five valued benefits for the Singapore workforce. While paid time off was the top valued benefit by Gen Y and Gen Z, medical coverage was rated highly by Gen X and Baby Boomers, indicating the need for employers to address the needs of an ageing workforce with integrated medical and wellbeing coverage. Interestingly, 65 percent of employees are willing to sacrifice the value of existing benefits for a better choice of benefits.
Work-life balance, personalised benefits and flexible working have also become more important for Singapore’s workforce.
“Employee benefits are so much more than programs and initiatives; they are a long-term people and performance strategy, driving business goals over a sustained period,” said Alan Oates, head of Global Benefits for Asia Pacific at Aon. “It is interesting that almost two-third of the employees would be willing to sacrifice the value of existing benefits for a better choice of benefits. In this challenging cost environment, we are successfully using flexibility and personalised benefits to better match employee needs and balance cost. Understanding employee expectations through data-driven insights coupled with leadership support are critical factors in creating an innovative benefits strategy that can positively impact attracting and retaining talent.”
Technological disruptions and innovation necessitate ongoing skill development among employees. In Singapore, 29 percent of employees are not confident that their employers are investing in their skills development and training for future work needs, compared to 17 percent globally. Additionally, 13 percent of employees in Singapore are uncertain about the impact of AI on their jobs, compared to 15 percent globally. Meanwhile, 35 percent of employees are motivated to develop new AI skills to remain relevant both globally and in Singapore.

- These innovative floor washers combine cutting-edge technology, energy efficiency, and sleek design for a superior cleaning experience
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 February 2025 – In response to the common challenges faced by homeowners—such as stubborn odours, tangled hair, and the inconvenience of using multiple cleaning tools—Tineco has unveiled its latest innovations: the Floor One S9 Artist and Floor One Switch S7 Stretch. These next-generation floor washers offer exceptional flexibility, powerful deep-cleaning performance, and an enhanced user experience, designed to meet the needs of today’s modern households.
FLOOR ONE S9 ARTIST: ADVANCED 360° CLEANING WITH HYPER STRETCH TECH AND SELF-CLEANING INNOVATION
The Floor One S9 Artist offers an advanced solution for modern homes. Featuring the 360° SmoothDrive Technology, it reduces handholding effort by 50%* through flexible left-right movement and a 90° Swivel Design, which adjusts the speed of the left and right wheels in real-time. In addition, the transmission of signals to the AI chip enables intelligent matching, ensuring smooth forward pushing, backward pulling, and effortless steering.
Additionally, the Floor One S9 Artist incorporates Hyper Stretch Technology, featuring a slim 12.85 cm flat height, which allows easy access under furniture to effectively remove hidden dust and ensure no corner is left untouched.
With exceptional cleaning performance, the Floor One S9 Artist features a Dual-Block Anti-Tangle Design that efficiently handles both pet and human hair without tangling. The MHCBS (Maintain Hygiene Clean Brush System) continuously rinses the brush with fresh water, while a squeegee presses against the roller brush to scrape off dirt and immediately sucks the dirty water into the wastewater tank. Additionally, the Flashdry Self-Cleaning System enhances cleaning efficiency by using 85°C hot air to heat fresh water, dissolving stains from the pipe to the brush roller for a deeper, more thorough self-cleaning result.
Upgrades were also made to enhance user experience, such as the Backtrack Water Erasure function that eliminates water streaks, and the Repositioned Clean Water Tank that enhances cleaning efficiency with reduced weight for effortless operation. The optional Electrolyzed Water feature delivers a superior cleaning experience, making the Floor One S9 Artist a versatile and user-friendly floor care solution.
FLOOR ONE SWITCH S7 STRETCH: THE 5-IN-1 CLEANING REVOLUTION FOR EFFORTLESS FLOOR CARE
The Floor One Switch S7 Stretch is a 5-in-1 cleaning tool, combining floor washing, vacuuming, crevice cleaning, soft surface care, and high-reach dusting into one compact device. Designed to replace traditional vacuums, it effortlessly handles wet and dry messes, including oily stains and hard-to-clean debris.
The Floor One Switch S7 Stretch revolutionizes floor cleaning with its advanced washing capabilities. With 22KPa of suction power, it effortlessly lifts dirt, debris, and hair, ensuring a deep and thorough clean every time. Like the Floor One S9 Artist, it features the MHCBS, which rinses the brush with fresh water 450 times per minute to guarantee spotless floors. The 180° lay-flat design and HyperStretch Technology allow it to clean under furniture and reach tight spaces as low as 13cm. Its Dual-Block Anti-Tangle Design prevents hair tangles, while dual-sided edge cleaning ensures no corner is left untouched. The FlashDry Self-Cleaning System utilizes fresh water heated to 85°C, combined with hot air, to dissolve stains and dry the brush in just 5 minutes, keeping it fresh and odour-free.
The Floor One Switch S7 Stretch also excels as a powerful vacuum cleaner. With its 5-stage filtration system which captures 99.97% of dust and debris as small as 0.3μm. Meanwhile, the ZeroTangle Brush effortlessly picks up hair without wrapping, and an LED headlight illuminates hard-to-reach areas, making cleaning under furniture effortless. The vacuum mode offers up to 70 minutes of runtime, powered by upgraded pouch cells that triple battery lifespan.

Ne Zha 2 Dominates Hong Kong Box Office for Four Straight Days, Crowned 2025’s Top Film
The sequel to the 2019 hit “Ne Zha” premiered in Hong Kong on February 18 and hit the theaters on February 22, drawing enthusiastic crowds and critical acclaim. The film reimagines the mythical tale of Ne Zha—a divine warrior from Chinese folklore—with modern storytelling and cutting-edge animation, captivating audiences across the Chinese mainland since its Lunar New Year debut.
The Hong Kong premiere at Causeway Bay drew a star-studded crowd, including representatives from its Hong Kong and Macau distribution teams, local cultural figures, and residents. Industry professionals praised the film’s technical brilliance and narrative depth, with many cinemas, such as Kowloon Tong’s Festival Grand Cinema, scheduling near hourly screenings to meet demand.
Two Hong Kong moviegoers shared their excitement after attending early screenings. One resident remarked, “I don’t usually watch adult-oriented animated films, but this one is definitely worth watching. Chinese animation can now rival, or even surpass, foreign productions.” Another added, “Chinese animation keeps improving. Compared to films six years ago, the artwork is more beautiful, the visuals more vibrant, and the storytelling completely unexpected.”
LO Shuk-pui, Director of the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Culture, Sports, and Tourism Bureau, highlighted the film’s collaborative effort, stating, “The script is exceptionally well-written, with sharp dialogue and rich character development. I heard 138 companies worked on this project over five years—the dedication and technical excellence are evident.”
WONG Bak-ming, Chairman of Hong Kong’s Oriental Film Company, emphasized its cultural significance, noting that Ne Zha series has successfully brought traditional Chinese stories to the global stage. It proves Chinese animation can achieve world-class results, and they’re proud to contribute to this milestone.
Globally, Ne Zha 2 has grossed over $1.698 billion as of February 18, surpassing “Inside Out 2” to become the highest-grossing animated film in history and entering the top eight of the all-time global box office chart. Due to its sustained popularity, the film’s screening period in Chinese mainland has been extended to March 30.
From its mythological roots to its record-breaking success, Ne Zha 2 continues to redefine the possibilities of Chinese animation, bridging cultural heritage with global appeal.
