68% of the workforce in Malaysia prefers to work flexibly with a combination of remote and on-site.

SEEK Asia has recently published a report – Decoding Global Ways of Working with a total of 209,807 respondents from 190 countries. Among the 5,649 respondents in Malaysia, only a 2% increase of workers who want to continue working remotely. If given the opportunity, 68% of respondents expressed that they would want to continue working flexibly between remote and on-site post-COVID.

This combination of working arrangements is also known as Hybrid Working, combining the best of both worlds.

Microsoft’s Work Trend Index survey shows that flexible working is here to stay and 66% of the business decision-makers are reviewing their real estate, office plans, HR policies, tech investments to provide a hybrid working environment. This is not just for real estate planning but also a human resource strategy to attract and retain talents.

“COVID-19 has changed the world, down to the micro-level. Workers around the world have begun re-evaluating their work priorities. Accordingly, employers must change their workplace policies in order to remain attractive to top talents.” – Peter Bithos, CEO of SEEK Asia

Does that mean that our physical office is no longer needed?

The answer is no! Workers welcome remote working or working from home for tasks that require quiet time and go back to the office for face-to-face collaborative work such as brainstorming and discussions. Hence, it is important that the office space is designed to boost productivity and encourage collaboration to happen.
