Singapore has the unhappiest workforce in the world: study
Singapore ranked ahead of Malaysia, New Zealand, and Australia with the least happy workforce.
Singapore has the unhappiest workforce in the world, a study found, after 48% of its employees stated they were unhappy in their workplace and will unlikely recommend it to a friend.
In the 2021 global report on the Impact of COVID-19 on Business Owners and Employees, Employment Hero surveyed more than 1,000 Singapore employees and employers.
Singapore, along with the UK, ranked as the country with the least happy workforce, followed by Malaysia (42%), New Zealand (41%) and Australia (40%). In contrast, Singapore also showed the highest concern on workers’ mental health.
Of this 68% of the employers said they are supportive of measuring employees’ mental health, but only 41% of employees agreed. Similarly, 62% of employers said they have tools to measure mental health issues, but only 39% of workers agreed.

S'poreans not only emotionless but unhappiest in the world as well: Poll
WASHINGTON - Singaporeans are the least positive people in the world, according to international pollster Gallup at least.
Gallup measured positive emotions in 148 countries and areas in 2011 using five questions. These questions ask people whether they experienced a lot of enjoyment the day before the survey and whether they felt respected, well-rested, laughed and smiled a lot, and did or learned something interesting.
The average percentage of respondents worldwide who said "yes" to these five questions reflects a relatively upbeat world.
Latin Americans emerged as the most positive people in the world, with their region being home to eight of the top 10 countries for positive emotions worldwide.
Residents in Panama and Paraguay are the most likely to report experiencing positive emotions. Singaporeans, Armenians, and Iraqis are least likely worldwide to report feeling positive emotions.
Gallup found that 85 per cent of adults worldwide felt treated with respect all day, 72 per cent smiled and laughed a lot, 73 per cent felt enjoyment a lot of the day, and 72 per cent felt well-rested.
The only emotion that less than half of people worldwide reported experiencing was getting to learn or do something interesting the previous day, at 43 per cent.
Despite many global challenges, people worldwide are experiencing many positive emotions.
Economic wealth does not mean happiness
These data may surprise analysts and leaders who solely focus on traditional economic indicators.
Residents of Singapore, which ranks fifth in the world in terms of GDP per capita, were the least likely to report positive emotions.
In contrast, residents of Panama, which ranks 90th in the world with respect to GDP per capita, are among the most likely to report positive emotions.
Higher income does not necessarily mean higher wellbeing, researchers said.

The workforce in Singapore is the unhappiest one among five countries polled, a recent survey found.
The survey, conducted by Employer Hero, a human resource software company, looked into the stress levels of employers and employees, as well as whether mental health support is deemed sufficient in the workplace.
How the survey was conducted
The survey was conducted in the first half of 2021 in the following five countries:
- Singapore (conducted in May 2021)
- United Kingdom
- Australia
- New Zealand
- Malaysia
A total of 5,715 respondents were surveyed online using Dynata panels.
Out of which, 1,014 respondents, a mix of employees and employers, were from Singapore.
A Workplace Happiness score was derived for each country using Employer Hero's internal survey methodology that's similar to the Net Promoter Score, the company said.
Employees were asked to rate their current happiness at work on a scale of 0 to 10. The scores were used to assess employee engagement.
The survey aims to understand the mental health impact due to Covid-19 on employers and employees in these countries.
Singapore the unhappiest among five countries
The survey results showed that 48 per cent of employees in Singapore stated that they are unhappy in the workplace and would not recommend it as a place to work, Employer Hero's press release stated.
This is higher than Malaysia (42 percent), New Zealand (41 per cent), and Australia (40 per cent).
The same percentage of employees in the UK felt the same.
Mental health concerns
A total of 71 per cent of employees in Singapore have felt stressed in the past six months amid the pandemic, while 61 per cent of employers felt stressed in the same period.
Physical and financial health are employees' main concerns.
There is also a discrepancy between how employers and employees in Singapore feel about the mental health support provided in the workplace.
Some 68 per cent of employers said they are supportive of employees' mental health, but only 41 per cent of employees agreed with that.
Some 62 per cent of employers felt there are sufficient tools and processes to measure wellness at their workplace, but only 39 per cent of employees shared that sentiment, the survey results revealed.
Two-third of the respondents, both employers and employees, agree that there is a mental health stigma in the workplace.
Some 50 per cent of the employers stated that mental health will be a focus for their organisation in 2021, which Employer Hero deemed as a positive sign.

Singaporeans are not only emotionless but unhappiest in the world

Singaporeans have done it once again — we are labelled as the unhappiest workers in the world…
A new study has found that nearly one in two employees are unhappy at their current workplaces, and an overwhelming majority (82%) will not recommend their company to a friend!
Now bear in mind, this study is hardly the first to highlight Singaporeans dissatisfaction, but it gives us an idea about why and how to manage employees expectations.
Based on calls and in-person interviews with 1,000 adults in 148 countries, Gallup researchers found that Singaporeans were the least likely to report positive emotions. They didn’t think they were treated with respect, didn’t report laughing or smiling, said they had trouble getting rest, and said they didn’t get much enjoyment out of their day.
Which country had the happiest citizens?
Panama.
In fact, the top of the list is populated entirely with
Latin American countries.
Singapore is known for its stable economy, world-class infrastructure, excellent education, housing and healthcare systems that many countries envy.
Yet, why can’t Singaporeans be happy?
We spend decades of our life toiling for the banks who are the real owners of our home…
Banks are also the first ones to get paid when we receive our salaries each month.
We worry about interest rate hikes and the rising unemployment rate. We also have to plan for retirement and cash out from our homes when we grow old.
Along the way, we fear and worry that something might go wrong. We see people around us facing difficulties in life and we are afraid that we might be the next one —
unemployed, massive investment losses, terminal illnesses, etc.
But there’s good news: when employees were asked about their experience in the past six months, they were more concerned about getting support for their well-being rather than their performance in the workplace.
Of all the countries surveyed by Employment Hero, Singaporeans showed a high level of concern for their mental health, with more than half (52%) rating it over career satisfaction (35%).
Unfortunately, employers are failing to meet their workers’ mental health needs. The study found a clear mismatch between what is currently offered by companies and the employees’ desired level of support.
While 68% of employers said they were monitoring and supporting employee’s mental health, less than half (41%) of workers agreed with the statement.
Also, while 62% of employers said they have tools in place to measure the organisation’s mental health, merely one in three (39%) workers agreed.
To better meet their needs, employees said they would prefer to see the following initiatives:
- Counselling services (43%)
- More health and wellness benefits (58%)
- Efforts on maintaining a healthy work-life balance (69%)
“Lack of clear structures, workflows and open communications across the organisation is adding unnecessary stress and strain on employees that are already struggling to cope with general pandemic-related anxiety,” Thompson — CEO and co-founder at Employment Hero said.
Jon Clifton, a Gallup partner in Washington, felt that Singaporeans sacrifice economic success and stability for what truly matters.
“If you measure Singapore by the traditional indicators, they look like one of the best-run countries in the world,” he was quoted as saying. “But if you look at everything that makes life worth living, they’re not doing so well.”
While remote working still very much a necessity during this pandemic, and possibly the future, employers must take action and put the right guidelines and communication channels in place to ensure their employees’ well-being.
