PETALING JAYA: Seeking a career change and better paying salaries are among the top reasons more than half of Malaysian respondents (58%) in a Ranstad survey say they intend to look for a new job in the next 12 months.

In its 2020 Covid-19 Labour Pulse Survey, recruitment agency Randstad Malaysia surveyed 531 locally-based employees between 26 June 2020 and 5 July 2020.

Given the current labour market conditions, 72% of all respondents also said they were willing to take on professional contract or project-based jobs, the survey revealed. "The Covid-19 pandemic has seen companies investing in building their digital infrastructure and network, leading to a great number of jobs being digitised or displaced as a result," said Randstad's Malaysia and Singapore managing director Jaya Dass.
