According to The Malay Mail Online (2014), competition for highly-skilled workers is set to drive Malaysia companies to bump up pay level for 2014, based on new Asia-wide job market study. Malaysia faces serious talent flight issue with the majority crossing the Causeway into Singapore. A World Bank Report from 2011 concluded that 20 per cent of Malaysian graduates opted to leave the country, again with Singapore cited as preferred destination. Unavoidable Office Politics? Mindtools.com listed a few facts that why office politics are unavoidable: Some people have more power than others, either through hierarchy or some other basis of influence.  For many people, gaining promotion is important, and this can create competition between individuals, or misalignment between the team's objectives and those of individuals within it.  Most people care passionately about decisions at work and this encourages political behaviour as they seek to get their way.  Decisions at work are impacted by both work-related goals and personal factors, so there is further scope for goal conflict.  People and teams within organizations often have to compete for limited resources; this can lead to a kind of "tribal conflict" where teams compete to satisfy their needs and objectives, even when this is against the greater good. Making Politics Works For You According to Mindtools, to deal effectively with office politics and use it yourself in a positive way, you must first accept the reality of it. Once you've done this, you then need to develop strategies to deal with the political behaviour that is going on around you. The best way to do this is to be a good observer and then use the information you gather to build yourself a strong network to operate in. Here are some tips: Re-Map the Organizational Chart  Understand the Informal Network  Build Relationships EPS Consultants www.eps.my EPS CONSULTANTS Your Trusted HR Partner Tel: +603 2268 2888  Listen Carefully  Make the Most of Your Network  Neutralize Negative Play  Govern Your Own Behaviour Email: [email protected] +Read More OUR SERVICES Incorporated in 1993 in Singapore, EPS Consultants have been providing professional recruitment services.
