The behavior and expectations of Thai employees in foreign companies in 2024 have evolved significantly in various aspects due to the rapidly changing economic and technological environment. Specifically, benefits, skills development, and career advancement have become focal points, reflecting changes in work methods and how organizations respond to employee expectations.
Trends in Thai Employees' Expectations in 2024
1.Benefits and Work-Life Balance
In 2024, Thai employees place a higher emphasis on benefits related to achieving work-life balance. Particularly in the post-COVID-19 era, where many companies adopt hybrid work or remote work policies, Thai employees expect foreign companies to support more flexible working conditions. This includes additional vacation days, mental health benefits, and comprehensive health insurance coverage.
2.Skills Development and Lifelong Learning
Thai employees today prioritize opportunities for acquiring new skills and adapting to the changing labor market. This expectation extends to foreign companies offering training opportunities, specialized skill development, and lifelong learning to keep them up to date with new technologies and progress in their careers.
3.Career Advancement Opportunities
Career advancement remains a crucial factor for Thai employees in foreign companies in 2024. They seek companies that provide clear career growth paths, especially multinational corporations that offer networks and opportunities to work in other countries or regions. Additionally, Thai employees expect foreign companies to have leadership development programs, offering the chance to grow into leadership roles within the organization.
4.Work Environment and Organizational Culture
Foreign companies with open organizational cultures that prioritize employee engagement are increasingly attractive to Thai employees in 2024. Employees expect the work environment to be fair, with transparent communication and opportunities to participate in decision-making and freely express their opinions.
Factors Attracting Thai Employees to Foreign Companies
1.Learning and Growth Opportunities
Foreign companies are attractive to Thai employees due to the greater opportunities to learn new things and grow in their careers. Employees in foreign companies often receive training opportunities, both domestically and internationally, and are involved in challenging projects.
2.Comprehensive Benefits
Better benefits in foreign companies, particularly in health insurance and employee well-being programs, make foreign companies a preferred choice for Thai employees.
3.Recognition and Opportunity for Input
In foreign companies, employees have more opportunities to voice their opinions and participate in decision-making, which fosters a sense of involvement and allows them to make a more significant positive impact on the organization.
In 2024, Thai employees have high expectations of foreign companies, particularly regarding benefits, skills development, and career advancement. Foreign companies remain attractive due to their open organizational cultures and clear career growth opportunities. However, differences in management styles, organizational culture, and benefits still give foreign companies an advantage in attracting Thai employees.
