id=\"What_is_Hybrid_Work\"><\/span>What is Hybrid Work?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/what-is-hybrid-working\">Hybrid work<\/a> is a combination of remote work and office work that allows employees to have flexible work hours and locations, with the option to work from home or the office at any time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Singapores_Hybrid_Work_Arrangements\"><\/span>Singapore&#8217;s Hybrid Work Arrangements&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many industries in Singapore, such as digital, knowledge, and office work, have practiced remote working where people work from home two to three days a week and work in the office the rest of the time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the study, only 20% of employees prefer to fully in work-from-home or office respectively. 81% of employees and 76% of business leaders recognize the value of working in the office and at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_Singaporeans_like_hybrid_work_in_2023\"><\/span>Why do Singaporeans like hybrid work in 2023?&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main benefits is that hybrid work offers them flexibility at work. There are top 7 reasons that make Singaporeans now prefer hybrid work arrangements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improved_work-life_balance\"><\/span>Improved work-life balance&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid work prevents Singaporeans from feeling fatigued and stressed. Flexible working hours give them more time to rest and spend time with their families.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, employees can save on their commuting costs because they don&#8217;t need to return to the office as often. This helps reduce their financial burden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Help_to_stay_away_from_illness\"><\/span>Help to stay away from illness&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid work allows employees to have individual hybrid work schedules and work remotely for long periods of time, resulting in fewer people in the workplace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a survey, most employees are concerned about their health and safety when they return to work. So, if the number of people in the workplace is reduced, this helps reduce the risk of sick employees infecting others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boost_overall_well-being\"><\/span>Boost overall well-being<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A hybrid workplace provides employees with more opportunities to have face-to-face communication, this makes them get closer and build good relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since hybrid work allows employees to organize their own workflow, it helps to reduce their stress. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/dam\/m\/en_us\/solutions\/global-hybrid-work-study\/reports\/Hybrid_Work_Study_Market_Factsheet_Singapore.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a report by Cisco Singapore<\/a>, <strong>78.6% of respondents said that hybrid work has improved their overall satisfaction.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, if employees are happy at their work, they would not quit their jobs. This helps employers to retain talents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increased_office_productivity\"><\/span>Increased office productivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Different studies have reported that hybrid work can improve staff work performance. The reasons are that working from anywhere improves attendance, flexible work schedules make work easier, and adequate breaks improve concentration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on <em>a report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG),<\/em> <strong>over 50% of managers believe their teams are more productive when they work remotely.<\/strong> This proves that hybrid work can also maintain good productivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Effectively_track_employee_performance\"><\/span>Effectively track employee performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The hybrid workplace provides a different management system for employees&#8217; work. The employees are required to work according to the daily hybrid work objectives scheduled by the employer in the system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the employee completes the work, the system will record the completed work. Then, the employer can check the performance at any time instead of constantly monitoring the employee&#8217;s performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promote_trust_among_employer-employee\"><\/span>Promote trust among employer-employee<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional working style does not require much communication, so there are many misunderstandings at work, which reduces the trust between employers and employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, hybrid work focuses on communication, whether it is written or conversational.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If communication and interaction between employers and employees increases, misunderstandings will decrease. When employees gain more trust from their employers, they will be happier at work and the quality of their work will increase relatively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_collaboration_and_work_relationships\"><\/span>Better collaboration and work relationships<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When employees work from home, they can use collaboration tools to work with others and even conduct virtual meetings. And when in a hybrid workplace, <a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/blog\/2022\/10\/10\/blooming-co-working-and-hot-desking-space-in-singapore-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">co-working spaces<\/a> allow employees to collaborate face-to-face in the same space.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the collaboration tools will automatically save their remote work process and help them work seamlessly when they back to the office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real-world interactions bring employees closer together and foster deeper connections, trust, engagement, and loyalty, all of which improve collaboration and innovation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hybrid model provides Singaporeans with the flexibility to make their jobs more enjoyable and engaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of being a perk for employees, hybrid work arrangements are gradually becoming a requirement for job seekers. If they continue to be required to work in the office five days a week, there is a risk of brain drain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering how to expand your business, adopting hybrid work is your first step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_setup_can_support_your_hybrid_office\"><\/span>What setup can support your hybrid office?&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cB1Clpl5YOU&amp;t=5s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hybrid office<\/a> should use <a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a functional office management system<\/a>, which helps Singapore employees use office resources efficiently, such as rooms, desks, and office equipment, and support them to have remote work and virtual meetings with their colleagues in the office.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/hk-en\/bookings-one\/request-demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ONES<\/a> is one of the famous all-in-one smart office systems that can help you to easily implement hybrid working at ease.&nbsp; You can easily perform virtual meetings, desk hoteling, and digital office management with our <a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/hk-en\/bookings-one\/room-booking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Room Booking<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/hk-en\/bookings-one\/desk-booking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Desk Booking,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/hk-en\/bookings-one\/visitor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visitor Management<\/a> features.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Contact us: <a href=\"mailto:hello@ones.software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hello@ones.software<\/a>, or visit ONES Software official website for more information: <a href=\"https:\/\/ones.software\/sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/ones.software\/sg\/<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singaporeans already fully accept hybrid working as their normal working style.
