SINGAPORE<\/span><\/span>, April 7, 2022<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — PERSOLKELLY<\/a>, one of the largest and leading HR solutions companies in Asia Pacific<\/span>, released a business survey report<\/a> highlighting<\/span> that one of Malaysia’s<\/span> top headcount strategies is to offer good employee benefits, including Training and Upskilling.<\/p>\n

64% of Malaysian companies surveyed engage a Contingent Workforce as a flexible staffing solution to Malaysia’s scalable labour market, and the figure is expected to grow by 15% in the next two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Contingent Workforce includes short-term and fixed-term contractual employees, freelancers and independent contractors outsourced to agencies.<\/p>\n

The report highlights how companies are turning increasingly to a Contingent Workforce strategy to overcome headcount shortages and is already an essential part of workforce strategies in Asia Pacific<\/span> with companies planning to increase their usage over the next two years.<\/p>\n

Businesses impacted by COVID-19, technology’s rapid growth and economic uncertainty are rethinking traditional recruitment approaches to stay competitive. The most common reason for adopting a Contingent Workforce is that it offers flexibility to workforce planning. The second top reason is to help fill specialised roles to ensure no disruption to operations.<\/p>\n

The survey illuminates a changing mindset, with the majority of companies likely to offer contingent workers the same or better rewards as permanent staff.<\/p>\n
