FLEXIBILITY IN WHERE AND WHEN

The survey finds that among Malaysia respondents, nine in 10 employees want flexibility in where and when they work, in the absence of which almost half (45%) would consider leaving their job post-COVID-19 pandemic. Given the choice between two jobs, their preferences were evenly split: 48% would choose flexibility in when they work and 47% would choose flexibility in where they work. On average, employees would want to work between two and three days remotely after the pandemic, with more than a third (36%) of respondents saying they want a shorter working week altogether. The majority (63%) believe their productivity can be accurately measured irrespective of location. Yet, there is a strong perception (72%) that this arrangement would impact their access to career opportunities. Despite the apparent willingness to move jobs for more flexible working arrangements, most employee respondents (75%) say they are satisfied with their jobs, and almost all (89%) say they plan to stay in their current roles for the following 12 months.
