SINGAPORE, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup today released its Global Talent Barometer 2025, Volume 1, offering unparalleled insights into workforce sentiment across 19 countries.

Global Talent Barometer 2025 June — APME Key Findings

The overall Global Talent Barometer score in Asia Pacific and Middle East (APME) of 66% was derived from three key indices: Well-Being (65%), Job Satisfaction (59%), and Confidence (73%). The report, which gathered data from 3,536 workers across six APME countries and territories between March 14 and April 11, 2025, reveals a complex landscape of employee well-being, job satisfaction, and confidence in the rapidly evolving world of work.

"Our latest Global Talent Barometer offers a timely look at how workers across the region are feeling. While confidence in the future remains strong, job satisfaction is not keeping pace," says François Lançon, Regional President, Asia Pacific & Middle East, ManpowerGroup. "Notably, almost a third of workers say they lack opportunities for advancement within their current organizations. This is sending a clear signal: people are looking for more than just a paycheck. They want flexibility, balance, growth, and a sense of purpose. They want to feel supported and empowered to shape their own futures."

In APME, almost 4 in 5 employees (78%) find their work meaningful and purposeful, and 69% feel well or fully supported with regards to work-life balance. However, the workforce reports experiencing high daily stress (50%) and low job satisfaction (42%), with the younger generations—Gen Zs and Millennials—feeling the most stressed and dissatisfied.

Gen Z reports the highest levels of daily stress (56%) despite 73% of them saying they feel supported with regards to work-life balance. They are also the most likely to change jobs within the next six months (56%).
