\n2021 – A new report based on the study Decoding
\nGlobal Ways of Working<\/i> states that only 7 per cent of Asia’s workforce now
\nwant to commit to a completely onsite work arrangement. A majority of them have
\nexpressed a desire for flexibility in where their work gets done. A total of 66,624 respondents in Asia \u2014
\nout of 209,000 participants across 190 countries \u2014 took part in the study.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nof the Asian respondents prefer to work two to three days remotely every week,
\nwith two exceptions. Forty-nine per cent of the respondents in the Philippines
\nprefer to work all five days completely remote. Reasons could be related to the
\nincreasing rate of COVID-19 infection, worsening traffic situation pre-COVID
\nlockdown and the inadequate public transportation system. On the other hand, only
\n9 per cent of the respondents in Hong Kong are keen on a completely remote
\narrangement \u2014 this is likely due to their housing situation, where their houses
\nare not ideal for a home office.<\/p>\n

\nstudy is conducted in partnership with SEEK Asia (The parent company of
\nJobStreet), Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and The Network. It is the second release
\nin a series of publications focusing on the pandemic’s impact on worker
\npreferences and expectations. The data gathered for Decoding Global Ways of
\nWorking<\/i> provides insights into worker preferences by gender, age, education
\nlevel, level of digital skill, and position in the job hierarchy. <\/p>\n

\ncompensation now a key near-term benefit when it comes to job preferences<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nfrom work location and work practices, the survey also identified some shifts
\nin what people value at work. Good relationships with their colleagues,
\nfollowed by financial compensation in the form of salaries and bonuses, are what
\nAsian employees consider when it comes to staying in their current jobs. In
\n2020, good relationships with their superiors became the third most important near-term
\nbenefit. Employer’s financial stability, career development, learning and
\nskills training, while still important considerations, now rank lower when it
\ncomes to weightage. <\/p>\n

\nworker attitudes on diversity and the environment<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nand environmental issues have gained international spotlight in 2020. A
\nmajority of Asian workers now expect their employers to champion environmental
\nresponsibility as well as diversity and inclusion. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nper cent of respondents indicated that the issue of employers’ environmental
\nresponsibility has become more important to them. This sentiment is especially
\nstrong amongst workers in Indonesia (85%), the Philippines (83%) and Malaysia
\n(80%). Roughly seven in ten respondents now value diversity and inclusion in
\nthe workplace. Social issues resonate strongly with workers in Thailand (91%),
\nthe Philippines (85%) and Malaysia (83%).<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nto 60 per cent of respondents said that they would exclude companies that do
\nnot match their beliefs in environmental responsibility when searching for a
\njob \u2014 Malaysia (65%), Indonesia (64%) and the Philippines (59%). For diversity
\nand inclusion, the number is 57 per cent \u2014 Hong Kong (67%), Malaysia (66%) and
\nThailand (63%).\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\nthe dimension of where work gets done, social issues attitudes and the monetary
\nbenefits. The way how people collaborate, the tools they use and their
\nwell-being have also been affected. One positive change is people’s increased
\nreliance and facility with using digital tools for their job roles. This
\nimproved use of digital tools during the pandemic was widely noted by the
\ncountries such as Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\ndecline. Employees from Hong Kong and Indonesia experienced a negative change
\nin their well-being, especially those in physical or social jobs, where they
\nhad to continue working in person.<\/p>\n

\nhas changed the world, down to the micro level. Workers around the world have
\nbegun re-evaluating their work priorities,” says Peter Bithos, Chief
\nExecutive Officer, SEEK Asia. “Accordingly,
\nemployers must too change their work policies in order to remain attractive to
\ntop talents. In today’s digital world, they must be technology champions, ensuring
\nconvenient access to collaboration tools and the deployment of robust infrastructure
\nin both the office and at home. Secondly, they must make employee well-being, work-life
\nbalance, mentorship and career development a key part of their companies’ core.
\nFinally, they need to be a role model to their employees, with their corporate
\nsocial responsibility efforts focusing on tackling important social and\/or
\nenvironmental issues.” <\/p>\n
