81% of workers want to take on a permanent remote position

Some want to work remotely because they have moved further away from the office.

As employees have become accustomed to a hybrid work environment, most of them (81%) already want to take on a permanent remote position, said HR platform Employment Hero.

According to Employment Hero’s study, some (46%) employees will even leave their current jobs if their employers force them to return to the office full-time.

Currently, 41% of employees returned to the office full-time this year. Of those who returned, 49% were directed by their employers.

Amongst age groups, Gen Z and millennials aged 18 to 35 are most likely to get a job which does not require them to physically report, given that 60% of them want to work fully remotely.

Singaporeans (30%) want to work remotely because they have either moved further away from the office or taken a working holiday while working remotely, the survey found.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
