In Singapore, there has been an increase in the percentage of resident employees on fixed-term contracts, from 6.4% in 2017 to 7.2% in 2018. This increase is attributed to the ongoing economic restructuring, which resulted in companies adopting a more short-term standpoint when it comes to workforce capabilities.

Led by the technology firms, the trend of having a flexible workforce is becoming increasingly popular within the banking and financial services industry. As firms each undergo their own digital transformation journey, companies are focussing their human capital strategy on skills that can effectively drive the business rather than workforce size.

A blended workforce is also the solution for the talent challenges that many employers face. Businesses will have a team of professionals with a specialised set of skills to drive change, generate cost-savings and improve its overall workforce quality as a result of having a diverse team.
