The pandemic has sparked a large-scale digitalisation in nearly every industry, resulting in a surge in job volume in the technology sector in Asia, which has traditionally been skill short. As technological advances and digitalisation trends set to accelerate, business leaders have reflected growing concerns about the ability to find the skilled talent to fill technology roles.

Asia’s technology industry has seen challenges recently, between new attitudes to work, gradually worsening market conditions, and a growing precariousness of tech jobs. To keep morale high, employee engagement strategies tailored to tech talent are key, says world leading specialist in workforce solutions and recruitment, Hays.

Sustainability is increasingly a priority for organisations, as they consider the impact they have on the environment, the impact of climate-related risks on their activities and their responsibility to act. While there are challenges to becoming a sustainable business, employees could be the solution to addressing them, says Hays, the world leading specialist in workforce solutions and recruitment.

Hays, the world’s specialist leader in workforce solutions and recruitment, has revealed that while most organisations are worried about skill shortages, only half of workers believe the learning resources provided by their employers meet their requirements to allow them to upskill within their role in a constantly evolving world of work. This contrasts with 60% of employers who believe the resources they offer meet the needs of their workers. 

Hays, a world-leading recruitment expert, previously released the "2022 Hays Greater China Salary Guide Technology Industry Supplement", which pointed out that the technology industry in Mainland China and Hong Kong is facing a new round of transformation and development. The demand for talents in numerous sub-sectors will further increase.

The speed of change the world of work has experienced and will continue to undergo necessitates an updated approach to overcome current and future workforce challenges in Asia, says Hays, the global leader in workforce solutions and specialist recruitment. 

According to web polls conducted by Hays, the world leading specialist in workforce solutions and recruitment, young people entering employment don’t have the necessary skills, and relevant work opportunities could be a barrier to obtaining them. 

Hays, the global leader in workforce solutions and specialist recruitment, has unveiled a major brand refresh and repositioning to better meet the changing needs of organisations and professionals in the rapidly evolving world of work. 

Hays Plc, a leading global professional recruiting group, is pleased to announce the launch of the 2022 Hays Salary Guide for the Technology industry in Greater China (“Technology Salary Guide”) today. As an extension of the 2022 Hays Asia Salary Guide ("Asia Salary Guide”), the Technology Salary Guide zoomed specifically into the technology industry in Greater China. Grounded on in-depth interviews with more than 1,000 professionals and senior executives from the mainland of China and Hong Kong SAR, the Technology Salary Guide analysed salary and talent market trends and elaborated on the opportunities and challenges of the Chinese Technology industry in 2022.

More than a year after the broad crackdowns on the Technology industry in China, many organisations have had to reassess their business models and strategies to adapt to the regulatory changes. More recently, major cities that house some of China’s homegrown Internet giants and well-known international technology firms like Shenzhen and Shanghai are on high alert as they deal with a resurgence of Covid-19 cases threatening the established status quo.
