SINGAPORE: Making counter offers to retain staff who have offered to resign is on the rise.
The 2011 Hays Salary Guide says this is because of economic recovery and more candidate movement in the jobs market.
71 per cent of companies surveyed said it is their policy to make a counter offer or that they have done so occasionally.
Mr
Chris Mead, General Manager of Hays in Singapore said it is
understandable that employers may attempt to reverse an employee's
decision to leave if the employee has the right skills, cultural fit and
is highly valued by the company.
He said top candidates, particularly those who are skilled, are receiving multiple offers and counter offers.
But a successful counter offer involves more than just money.
Mr
Mead added that many of the candidates are assessing new opportunities
and are moving for the right level of responsibility and career
prospects rather than a salary increase.

Zzzzz...
Something as an advice...
If one has TRUELY CONSIDERED leaving a company, then do not accept watever counter-proposal they offer even if it meant higher wages...
Because, likely once you accepted, you will be forever in the "stuck" zone with little chance of promotion and average appriasal...
heehee true
好马��回头�
and it is very obvious when an employee leaves the company there is nothing holding him or her back
do not leave just because of that slight increase or any flashy titles which may be too good to be true....for those who may not know...AVPs are aplenty and in fact is considered as the lowest rank in the corporate management level esp. in the banking industry....just another runner....thats all..
know what fits your career objectives before you move....thats the most important and yet disregarded by most in their job hunts....work-life balance is the in-thing...
counter offers are worth considering but do not make it too tough for your HR...even after u finally accept it....there would be a "stain" in your record...
this is so bogus ->

saying this is like saying gi joe resigned from his company and immediately he gets offers from cobra,the imperial red army and the red baron too.
The TRUTH is many are JOBLESS at such Gloomy Time... Don't be fooled... Reality is harsh. No company will counteroffer anyone who is leaving unless he/she is indispensable however in this Era no one is indispensable. Many company will force you to quit especially you are high pay & high age...
all i see is an unshaven gi joe watching tv and drinking beer with big belly and phone hasnt rang since ww2 ended.
