Increasing demand for contract employees: survey
Singapore
WHILE only one in three contract employees in Singapore is converted to a permanent position, they are increasingly being valued by employers, according to a survey by Page Personnel.
According to a spokesman of the PageGroup, the reason why contract employees are not mostly converted to permanent staff is because employees may not feel that they are the right fit for the job or the basic contract might have expired or they could be temporarily covering for someone who is on a long leave.
