HONG KONG EMPLOYEES are beginning to wonder when the party will end and the booming jobs' growth that is driving higher salaries will begin to slow.
The pulse of the workplace was measured by Right Management, a provider of integrated consulting solutions in the employment industry, from June to November last year, and showed that its Career Confidence Index for the city, which was 55.7 out of a perfect score of 100, was slightly down against a rising global trend that had pushed worldwide index to an all-time high of 58.6.
Doug Matthews, executive vice-president, operations, at Right Management, said worker confidence levels had risen in 15 of the 18 countries surveyed.
'It is the highest global Career Confidence Index level in the three years that Right Management has conducted the survey - an increase from 57 last May,' he said.
The survey covered nearly 9,100 workers in 18 countries.
The survey found that Hong Kong employees continued to show increasing confidence in the current conditions, but were wary of what lay in store in the next six months.
