Staff in the flourishing city-state are the most dispassionate of all major Asia markets, according to a study. What would make them perk up?

Employees in Singapore, Asia's wealth hub, are among the least engaged in Asia, according to a new report from professional services firm Aon. Just 59 percent of employees in Singapore are «engaged», or switched on, industrious, and interested.

Staff engagement is highest in Indonesia at 76 percent, followed by India and the Philippines at 71 percent each.

The Aon study revealed that career opportunities topped the list of factors which could enliven employees in Singapore, with senior leadership and enabling infrastructure rounding out the top three. A healthy work-life balance only claimed fourth spot. 

In the 2018 Trends in Global Employee Engagement study, Aon analysed more than 8 million employees at over 1,000 organizations around the world.
