MONTHLY EMPLOYER NEWSLETTER
OCTOBER 2014
Highly-Skilled Talent Getting Expensive?
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
