With 4-5 out of ten Malaysian employees seeking new jobs in the next year, the war for talent is fiercer than ever. But what's driving this turnover, and what do employees really want from their employers beyond just a paycheck?

Surendran Ramanathan, Head of Wealth Solutions at Aon Malaysia, joins us to break down the key findings from their 2025 Employee Benefits and Well-being Report. He discusses the shift to a holistic reward strategy, the critical importance of flexible work, and the need for meaningful benefits that cater to a multi-generational workforce.

We discuss:

• Why 40-53% of employees are looking to leave their jobs.

• Why rewards must be holistic, moving beyond just compensation.

• The top-valued benefits across different generations (from Gen Z to Gen X).

• The challenges and opportunities of flexible working arrangements.

• The growing importance of employee well-being and mental health support.

For HR leaders and C-suite executives, this is an essential, data-driven guide to understanding the modern workforce and building a strategy that attracts and retains top talent.
