56% of APAC firms plan to make remote work available to employees by 2025

About 56% of organizations in the Asia Pacific (APAC) will likely make remote working available to all employees by 2025, according to new research from real estate consultant JLL.
In its Future of Work report, JLL revealed that companies would rethink their office spaces, invest in new technology, and prioritize sustainability “as hybrid work becomes more entrenched in corporate culture.”
This includes exploring flexible space options between now and 2025.
JLL Philippine Country Head Joey Radovan said, “We see that organizations will accelerate strategic investments over the next three years to realize their long-term workforce and workplace priorities, and the remaining four months of 2022 will be a critical phase for CRE strategy.”
The paper also stated that the shift to hybrid work placed a “greater emphasis” on how companies can support employees’ mental well-being and maintain productivity.
Additionally, 80% of APAC firms agree that high-quality spaces are best suited to facilitate the kind of workplaces, health and wellbeing amenities, and sustainability credentials employees and corporates increasingly need.
“Office remains an important element of work. We see wellness, sustainability, and technology gaining greater prominence in shaping the built-up environment.” said JLL PH Head of Research and Strategic Consulting Janlo de los Reyes.
