Qualtrics’ Employee Experience Trends reveals top drivers of employee engagement in Malaysia in 2021

Annual report finds engagement drivers shifted in 2020

 

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 23 March 2021 – New research released today by Qualtrics (Nasdaq: XM), the leader in employee experience (EX) and creator of the experience management (XM) category, has revealed significant shifts to the drivers of employee engagement in Malaysia in 2021.

According to the 2021 Malaysia Employee Experience Trends Report, feeling that my career goals can be met and being proud of the company’s efforts to have a positive impact on the world emerged as the top two drivers of employee engagement. Confidence in senior leadership to make the right decisions, feeling a sense of purpose from work, and feeling a sense of belonging rounded out the top five.

In contrast, last year’s engagement drivers were receiving recognition for good work, seeing a clear link between work and strategic objectives, opportunities for learning and development, manager support in career development, and confidence in senior leadership to make the right decisions.

Employee engagement in Malaysia increased

Despite the challenges faced by businesses and government in 2020, overall levels of employee engagement in Malaysia increased to 67% in 2020, from 54% in 2019. This is in line with the global average, which rose 13% in the last year (66% vs. 53%). Intent to stay with an organisation three years or more was 71%.

Well-being, which is an important contributor to overall EX, continues to be a priority for workers and is predicted to be a key trend for organisations in 2021. A sense of belonging is of particular importance in the context of well-being. Employees who feel like they belong are almost 5x more likely to rate their well-being favourably than those who feel like they don’t belong (78% vs. 16%).

Two-thirds (65%) of employees in Malaysia rated their overall well-being as favourable, which is just under the global average of 67%.

Lauren Huntington, EX Solutions Strategy, Qualtrics Southeast Asia, said: “2020 irreversibly changed the working world, and globally we saw engagement drivers shift considerably last year. As businesses and governments look forward to 2021 we expect to see these engagement drivers evolve once again as restrictions continue to change. To ensure teams are provided with the support and services they need in fast changing situations it is critical leaders are able to understand how emerging trends are reshaping the workplace, and what they can do to design and improve employee experience.”

Uncovering the experience gap

According to the Qualtrics study, 93% of employees believe it’s important their company listens, with 80% saying they have the opportunity to feedback. However, only 34% say their company acts on feedback well.

“While it’s pleasing to see employers listening to their teams, the study outlines the critical importance of acting on feedback. There is no one size fits all approach to improving the employee experience. By capturing responses from their teams across the entire employee lifecycle and in key moments that matter, businesses are able to design improved experiences.”

“The business impact of listening and acting on feedback is huge. When organisations do take action, scores increase across employee engagement (90%), wellbeing (87%) and intent to stay (87%),” said Huntington.

About the study

The 2021 Global Employee Experience Trends Report examined more than 11,800 full-time employees across 20 different countries around the world, to find out what’s changed in employee experience, and what is driving employee engagement in a post-COVID world. 292 respondents polled were from Malaysia.

SGPomades Unveils Its Beautiful Website Redesign

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 23 March 2021 – SGPomades, a men’s grooming retailer, announced the launch of its newly redesigned sgpomades.com. The revamp allows for a more engaging user experience with enhanced navigation through a more modernistic & contemporary design.

The site’s simplified style, combined with improved optimization for all devices, informative content, and search functionality enables customers to streamline their shopping experience and make informed purchases with the brand.

“We’re proud to announce that our site has been optimized for enhanced user experience to allow our valued customers to navigate the site easily and hassle-free. On top of that, we’ve included helpful information on the various product categories like shaving cream and razor blades to help our customers make an informed decision”, said SGPomades founder, Mr Alvin Lim.

This site offers authentic high-end grooming and hairstyling products from all over the world, with many of the brands appointing SGPomades as their official distributor in Singapore.

Anyone in Singapore or Malaysia who is interested in getting their hands on these products can head over to their website for a wide selection of products at affordable prices.

“We aim to challenge the status quo of the limited men’s grooming and hair styling products from that small shelf in the corner of the drug store.”, said SGPomades founder, Mr Alvin Lim.

Why SGPomades Stands Out in The Sea of Online Retailers

As one of the leading men’s grooming retailers in South East Asia, they specialize in hair, shaving, face, and body essentials, and strive to provide quality products so that the men’s grooming regime will be an enjoyable ritual instead of a chore.

Apart from their huge online presence and wide array of highly sought-after men’s care products, SGPomades has 14 vending machines scattered all over Singapore that offer men’s grooming essentials and hair products.

“When you get customers texting you at 3 am asking if they can collect now, the vending machine idea somehow gets born. I concluded that if men are willing to drive all the way down to get a hair styling product at unearthly hours, convenience and timeliness of delivery is really important. I also made it a point to source for a vending machine that has a computer screen that is able to replicate the experience of browsing products on our website.”, said Mr Alvin Lim.

About SGPomades

SGPomades is a men’s grooming retailer offering a comprehensive selection of the most high-end hair styling and grooming products from all over the world. They aim to challenge the status quo of the limited men’s grooming and hair styling products from that small shelf in the corner of the drug store.

Apart from being well known for being the go-to online retailer for hair products, they’ve also expanded into other men’s grooming products like face moisturizers , shaving creams , and shavers .

“I sure hope to see my business carry more than a hundred reputable brands and expand on our men’s grooming product categories. It is also in our cards to eventually own a cosmetics production factory and export our products internationally. I hope that in 5 years’ time everyone in Singapore will know of and see our company as a reputable men’s grooming retailer and level up to be like Sephora.”, said Mr Alvin Lim.
