JobStreet: 51% of companies plan on-site work in 2024

It is a slight decline from the 55% in the previous year.

Around 51% of companies are expected to require employees to work on-site in 2024, a slight decline from 55% in the previous year, according to a JobStreet report.

This is due to the “higher uncertainty” expected as there is an increasing preference for a flexible workplace amongst employees.

“Companies may consider adopting this flexibility to attract talent, especially from in-demand sectors such as technology,” the report read.

About 5% of companies aim to have employees in rotation between the workplace and work remotely, whilst only 3% target their workers to work remotely fully.
