The average working age is increasing across the globe and as a result, employers should embrace the benefits of a more mature workforce, says recruiting experts Hays.

CEO of recruiting experts Hays, Alistair Cox, says business leaders need to sometimes step off the “treadmill of busyness” and give themselves space to focus on areas and issues which add more value to their organisation.

The latest Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) report by leading recruitment experts Hays found that an overwhelming majority of working professionals across Asia considered a workplace culture that encouraged and rewarded diverse opinions as the most crucial element in retaining top talent.

Hays Singapore was ranked number one in the ‘small workplace’ category of the 5th annual Singapore Best Workplaces™ study, held by Great Place to Work®, a global authority on workplace culture.

Going green can benefit staff attraction and retention, but organisations must demonstrate real commitment. According to recruiting experts Hays, if genuine talent attraction and retention benefits are to be realised, employers need to ensure their sustainability efforts are authentic.
