Singapore among APAC countries that prefer hybrid work: JLL

Five in 10 APAC organisations prefer hybrid workstyles.

Singapore, along with Korea and Australia, lead the Asia Pacific (APAC) wherein 51% of organisations prefer hybrid workstyles, as revealed in JLL’s Future of Work survey.

Meanwhile, the remaining 49%, led by China and India, are considered “office advocates” who would like to see staff in the office five days a week.

Currently, 85% of APAC organisations have a policy of at least three days of office attendance per week. Four in 10 expect the number of in-office days to increase by 2030.

The report also said that seven in 10 business leaders in APAC expect their corporate real estate (CRE) budgets to increase between now and 2030, despite the challenging commercial real estate landscape.

CRE leaders in APAC anticipate that over 70% of their activities will be at least partially supported through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030. 

Moreover, 90% of APAC organisations plan to accelerate investments in AI, with half expecting AI-enabled spaces by 2030.
 
Globally, business leaders are mainly focused on three corporate goals over the next five years: growing revenue through expansion and mergers and acquisitions (57%), attracting and retaining talent (53%), and achieving organisational efficiency (54%).
