Ridhima Khanduja, Partner and Market Leader for Kincentric Malaysia said, “The two-year disruption resulted in an unprecedented change in how, when and where we work.

“This impacts the way we feel about our jobs, especially around expectations of employers in managing employee wellbeing and responsibilities, offering clear career pathways and goals, as well as flexibility and performance expectations.

“Employees are also looking for more impact in their work and a place with purpose, one committed to shaping a better world.”

Key insights from Kincentric’s Best Employers Program cites how the Great Resignation has created opportunities for employers to capitalize on what they view as the Talent Uprising.

Ridhima elaborated, “Leaders and organizations need to act fast to retain and attract the talent needed to achieve business goals.

“To do this, leaders and their organizations need to leverage on the learnings of the past two years to evolve and make meaningful changes in the workplace.

“This can be done by improving agility and building a culture where employees feel engaged, inspired, respected, connected, and committed.”
