Relocation .... does it scare you or bring lots of excitement in you? Reposting this for the map! Thank you Surya Sharma. I come across many executives who wish to relocate... hope this map gives you some ideas... I find that often the language determines the choice of country. Many Indians wish to relocate to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia because of the English language...and some familiarity with the lifestyle/culture ... Other reasons people want to relocate can be the type of education they want to give to their children or for the weather and lifestyle. And of course for many it is a career change or career promotion. Have you ever thought of relocating? Do you know how to negotiate a relocation package? 👉 DM me if you want to make your relocation a great success for you and your family. #relocationforwork #careeradvice #careercounselling #changingcountries #relocationpackage

Landing in #Indonesia back in 2010, For me it was all anticipation and uncertainty. What awaited me in this vast archipelago? The years that followed have been a whirlwind of experiences, exciting and rewarding. In the 11th edition of the Expat Insider 2024 rankings by InterNations, Indonesia is ranked 3rd. The ranking gathered responses from over 12,500 expats representing 175 nationalities in 174 countries or territories, analyzing factors such as Quality of Life, Ease of Settling In, Working Abroad, Personal Finance and the Expat Essentials Index (which covers housing, administration, language and digital life). What works in Indonesia's favor? --> Affordability, --> Friendly people, and --> Excellent work-life balance The report highlights room for improvement in areas like digital infrastructure and healthcare, but the progress is undeniable and opportunities abound. You definitely can't deny the appeal! Link to the report in comments. #Indonesia #SoutheastAsia ------------------- I write regularly on People | Leadership | Financial services | Sustainability.

Everyone is unique. We all have different backgrounds and stories. Embracing these differences isn’t just nice—it’s powerful. When we see and value the uniqueness in each person, amazing things happen. I love celebrating National Day, it reminds me how fortunate I am as a Singaporean with the safe, diverse and harmonious place we call home. A leader’s job is to bring out the best in people. When people feel valued and included, they shine. They share their best ideas, take bold steps, and work together seamlessly. Inclusion isn’t about fitting everyone into the same mould. It’s about celebrating our differences and using them to create something extraordinary, the best way forward. So, how do we make everyone feel they belong? 🔺 We must be intentional. 🔺 Set clear goals for diversity. 🔺 Train our teams on biases. 🔺 Create policies that ensure fairness. When people feel they belong, they give their best. Let’s embrace our unique qualities, build inclusive environments, and harness our diverse talents. Happy 59th Birthday Singapore! 🎂 #happynationalday #diversityequalityinclusion #gratitude

I really enjoyed binge watching the latest series of Race Across the World on the BBC! As the contestants travelled from Japan to Lombok it reminded me of the summer that I traveled through Indonesia. Throwback Thursday picture below, on an uninhabited island somewhere between the Gili Islands and Komodo. ⛵️🏝️ It got me thinking about the #skills that went into a successful race as the competitors were all different ages with different backgrounds and life experience. This was a marathon of a race, there was a tight budget that had to be considered and many different cultures and language barriers to contend with, not to mention different transport networks and currencies! I’ve had a go at putting together a list of skills that could help find a great world racer: 🏃➡️ Adaptability 🏃➡️ Ambition 🏃➡️ Getting stuff done 🏃➡️ Collaboration 🏃➡️ Problem solving 🏃➡️ Resilience Are there any more #skills that should be on the list? Understanding the behavioural skills that make candidates a good match for a role and introducing skills based hiring practices can mean access to a wider talent pool without fear of harming hiring outcomes. At Spotted Zebra we help to align people with opportunities that use and develop their skills, so that they are happier and more productive at work. 🦓 #skillsbasedhiring #dei #throwbackthursday

Why are so many men eager to relocate to Indonesia? 🌴✨ It's not just about career growth and market potential, is it? 🤔 Men, let's be honest – the allure isn't just economic. It's the exotic appeal of Indonesian women that truly captivates. 💖😍 Sure, Indonesia's on the rise. But let's not kid ourselves. If it’s global market connectivity you’re after, look towards Singapore, Thailand, or Malaysia. Yet, these men remain undeterred, their eyes fixed on Jakarta, driven by personal thrills masked as professional ambitions. Before you pack your bags for Jakarta, ask yourself: are you pursuing professional growth or a personal fantasy? 🌺 The allure of the "exotic" might just be clouding your career judgment. #indonesia #career #growth #expat #careeradvice #expatlife #careergrowth

🌐 My thoughts on how I’d improve the Indonesian Work Culture 🚀 No work culture is perfect, so here are some ideas that I’d advocate for Indonesia based on my experience from working in first world countries. 🕒 Demoting Age-Related Questions: In Indonesia, there's often a correlation between age and experience. If I were at the helm of the Ministry of Manpower, I'd advocate for making it illegal to ask about age in work circumstances. This shift could empower young talents whose capabilities might be overshadowed by traditional perceptions. 🚗 Promoting Work-Life Balance: With Jakarta's notorious traffic and the toll it takes on work-life balance, I'd champion hybrid or remote work options. Embracing flexibility can contribute to an increase in employee well-being. This will be a tough one for many Indonesians to accept since many managers still correlate working late hours with being productive. 🌍 Breaking Down Ethnic Barriers: In some Indonesian companies, the preference for a specific race can still exist, hindering diversity and inclusion. Legislation could play a role here—making it illegal to ask for race and enforcing diversity by setting targets for representation. Learning from people with diverse backgrounds has enriched my professional journey. What do my fellow Indonesians think?💼 #WorkCulture #DiversityandInclusion #ContinuousImprovement
