With year-end festivities in sight, the retail, catering, and tourism industries are bracing for a battle to secure temporary employees.
SINGAPORE: With the year-end festivities on the horizon, the local retail, catering, and tourism industries are gearing up for a battle to secure temporary employees. Recruitment agencies report that demand for seasonal workers is expected to remain robust this year, with the potential for double-digit year-on-year growth.
The company is also recruiting temporary workers earlier this year than in previous years. It plans to offer wages about 10% to 15% higher than the previous year and is looking to hire approximately 100 people, mainly for administrative and operational roles. The increase in wages aims to attract top talent and maintain the quality of service during the busy holiday season.
One catering company, for example, plans to hire 20% more waiters and kitchen assistants, offering flexible hours to ease the demand during the festive rush. This move will allow them to better cater to customers while ensuring a seamless dining experience.
