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

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%).
