7 in 10 employees want flexibility in working schedules, locations

They are even willing to receive a pay cut just to be granted such flexibility.

Rather than an arbitrary hybrid work, 70% of employees would like their employers to provide them flexibility in their working schedules in locations.

According to ADP® Research Institute’s People at Work 2022: A Global Workforce View, 38% of employees would even accept a pay cut if they will be allowed to work in their preferred locations.

Over 72% said they are also willing to work the same hours as long as they are given more flexibility in their schedules.

“With remote and hybrid working models already widely adopted by Singapore companies, employers should consider what is the next level of flexible work and what employee benefits will retain talent in the years ahead,” the report said.

“This could be in the form of implementing a four-day work week, allowing employees to curate their schedules, or allowing employees to work remotely from overseas locations,” it added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
