Recently, it was reported that the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne, Switzerland, released the 2024 International Talent Ranking Report, and Thailand fell 2 places from last year in the ranking to 47th overall.
In the above ranking, Singapore in the ASEAN region remains in second place, while Switzerland is in first place and Luxembourg is in third place. This is followed by United Kingdom at 27th, Canada at 29th and Japan at 43rd. It is understood that the above ranking is mainly measured by three major factors, namely: investment and human resource development, foreign talent attraction, and domestic talent readiness.
In addition, a study by IMD's World Competitiveness Center found that executives in countries such as Japan, Thailand, Singapore, United Kingdom and Canada agree that artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role in changing the way they work, but also pointed to the negative issues that arise as some highly skilled expatriates will not be interested in working in these countries, which will have an impact on attracting and retaining talent in the long run.
