The top three spots of the Global Talent Competitive Index (GTCI) have remained unchanged since last year, with Singapore leading in talent rankings, followed by Switzerland and the United States, respectively. New Zealand and Australia are the only other APAC nations to make the top 20. With a special focus on entrepreneurial talent, the report saw an emerging trend to stimulate entrepreneurial skills and futureproof employees. The GTCI report was in line with recent findings in a study by the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), which found that in the push for innovation in transformative times, businesses have identified manpower issues as a key hurdle.
