Over 95% workers at risk of burnout due to unfair treatment by peers

Four in 10 employees said they experience unequal treatment.

More than nine in 10 Hong Kong employees are at risk of burnout in 2022 due to unfair treatment and lack of competitive rewards, making it the highest among markets in Asia, asset management firm Mercer said.

About 40% of employees said they deal with unequal treatment from their peers whilst 35% complain that they are not being rewarded fairly for the amount of work they’ve done.

The study also found that one in four executives and human resource leaders in the market see employee burnout as a threat to transformation.

Yan Jiejun, Mercer’s head of talent and employee experience, career consulting in Hong Kong, said firms in the market are “more traditional” compared to other markets when it comes to favouring compensation and benefits.

“Although employees are drawn to new, flexible work models as a result of the pandemic, they are fundamentally still driven by rewards and it is encouraging to see employers taking active steps such as moving to skills-based pay, to ensure their compensation packages remain fair and competitive,” added Yan.

High-street shop vacancy rises to 16.5% in Q2 22

Amongst core districts, Tsim Sha Tsui had the biggest vacancy rate. High-street shop vacancy rose 1.3 percentage points from Q122 to hit 16.5% in Q2 22, data from CBRE showed. The increase in vacancy was likely due to some landlords, who are under limited financial pressure, opting to leave units vacant rather than renting them out. This practice was most evident in Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok where vacancy rates were the highest, at 23.2% and 18.9%, respectively. Whilst vacancy rose during the quarter, rents remained flat. According to CBRE, rents were unchanged from Q122 because “cash-rich landlords with strong holding power prevented some units from transacting at lower rents this quarter.” In addition to rents being unchanged, leasing volume also increased in Q2, signalling an improvement in the retail property sector. “Improved retailer sentiment underpinned an increase in transaction volume, although many deals signed this quarter involved short-term leases,” CBRE commented.
