Singaporeans are cushioning themselves against the challenging economic climate by putting their career in the driver's seat, according to research by LinkedIn.

They are doing so by learning new skills and deepening their knowledge in areas that are in demand (54%), building their professional brand (41%), and proactively seeking feedback to improve their work performance (38%).

The study also found that salary is the leading factor in influencing employees to stay or driving them to look for other opportunities. Almost a quarter (24%) of employees in Singapore are also confident in their abilities and believe they can find a better role.
