Singapore Salary Guide 2022 for HR, Administration, Sales and Marketing

Thanks to the government’s support initiatives and business optimism, Singapore’s economy in 2021 bounced back after contracting in the previous year. The city-state is finally back on track after reeling from the economic loss during the first year of the pandemic. 

Another piece of good news is that HR and administrative roles in Singapore are projected to experience a 4 to 10% average salary increment, according to Links International. Sales and marketing roles will be affected as well, albeit receiving lower increments. 

Here’s our 2022 salary guide in Singapore that can come in handy for HR, sales, marketing, and admin professionals!

2022 outlook for HR and admin

HR will be just as important in the transition and recovery process as it was while dealing with the challenges of the pandemic. HR professionals in talent recruitment and workforce planning will be integral to an organisation’s success. 

Moreover, there will be emerging roles such as People Strategist and Talent Enablement Specialist, so HR professionals and aspiring ones are encouraged to take up additional certifications.

Companies are currently focused on hiring roles that help businesses generate more revenues, so support positions won’t likely be prioritised within the recovery period. 

2022 outlook for sales and marketing

Upskilling programmes are increasingly becoming more popular to address the potential problem of talent shortages in tech. As such, the Singapore government made a partnership with Google to create programmes that teach digital and digital marketing skills to young and interested talents.

Singapore is expecting an influx of international travellers as travel borders open up.

Sales and marketing professionals will be more needed than ever to aid businesses in boosting their sales.

New COVID-19 variants and potentially the threat of monkeypox could complicate border controls, so the supply chain isn’t fully off the hook yet. However, improvements will come from the gradual reopening this year.
