Tidarat Kanchanawat, the visionary Country Director of the Adecco Group Thailand, takes us on a whirlwind journey through a labor market that’s not just recovering, but practically doing backflips with excitement.

Did someone mention starting salaries skyrocketing from 80,000 Baht to a whopping 100,000 Baht for the fresh-faced innovators of the tech realm? Yes, please!
It’s not just about the technical juggernauts, though. This tale talks of Medical Directors and Managing Directors, the unsung heroes of healthcare and manufacturing, cradling their industries like the fragile yet robust entities they are.

And then, there’s the bright new world heralded by Generative AI, viewed with eagerness by 74% of the workforce, even as it whispers sweet nothings of revolution into the ears of tasks and strategies.
Tidarat’s narrative doesn’t end with just observations. It’s a call to action – a plea for businesses to adapt, to embrace the winds of change, and to offer the siren song of remote/hybrid work.

Finally, some recognition for the tech industry! Those starting salaries are insane. Just goes to show tech is the future.
Sure, tech is booming but what about the sustainability of these salaries? It feels like a bubble waiting to burst.
Doubt it’s a bubble. Technology is at the heart of every sector now, it’s not just a trend, it’s the foundation of the future economy.
What about environmental costs of this tech boom? Nobody seems to be talking about the increase in e-waste.
But aren’t we ignoring the human element in all this tech talk? What about jobs that can’t be replaced by computers?
Great to see hospitality getting some love! After the tough times, this sector deserves a strong comeback.
I’m cautiously optimistic. Just hope it’s not another false dawn for hospitality.
Understandable, but with tourism picking up, I think we’re in for a good run.
Noticing a lot of focus on digital and tech leadership roles. Are traditional roles being undervalued or is this just the shift towards a more digital future?
I appreciate the emphasis on strong cultures, diversity, and inclusion. It’s about time companies realized employees are more than just numbers.
All nice on paper, but how many actually follow through with these promises? Seems like a lot of corporate lip service to me.
It’s a start, at least. We have to start somewhere if we want to see change.
Generative AI is mentioned as a new frontier. Exciting but also terrifying. How prepared are we really for this?
Super prepared! This is where continuous learning comes into play. Adapt or be left behind.
Adapting is fine, but at what cost? The ethical implications of AI are vast and largely unexplored.
No mention of green jobs or sustainable industries in the future? We should be prioritizing these sectors.
Maybe it’s implied with the CSR and ESG focus? Companies leading in sustainability tend to invest in green initiatives.
Implied isn’t good enough. We need explicit commitments and actions.
A future where work is not just what we do but a reflection of who we are? Sounds idealistic. Reality often tells a different story.
It’s not idealistic, it’s a vision worth striving for. We create our reality.
Visions are great, but let’s make sure those at the bottom aren’t forgotten in this glamorous future.
