The Workforce Trends Survey 2025 gathered data from employers across ten sectors to track how Namibia’s workforce is changing. We’re grateful to all who participated. The headline findings are below.
Key findings:
- Voluntary turnover averaged 14%, highest in ICT and hospitality.
- 31% of employers reported offering some form of remote or hybrid work, up from 24% the year before.
- Workforce demographics continued to shift younger, with under-35s making up 48% of surveyed employees.
- Skills shortages were cited by 57% of employers as their top workforce challenge.
What it means: retention and flexibility are becoming decisive factors in the labour market, and skills shortages remain the dominant concern. Organisations investing in development and flexible work are better placed to hold onto talent.
The full results are available to participating organisations and summarised in our Publications library.
