What the new survey reveals: According to a survey conducted by the CBRE South Asia Pvt Ltd, 73% of the companies in India are considering hybrid working arrangements post Covid-19 pandemic as this seems to be the emerging trend with more companies primarily opting for flexible working patterns.
The survey highlights that the flexible working approach is a mix of four arrangements. These working patterns would include, just-in-case remote work for specific circumstances, 3 or more office days a week, an equal mix of office and remote work, and remote work for 3 or more days a week.
Interesting, the survey shared that nearly 38% of respondents mentioned that they would consider an equal mix of office-based and remote work, while the remaining 35 % have said they would permit 3 or more office days in a week.
Additionally, the survey said that the technology and BFSI companies who plan to implement hybrid working policies going forward would mainly prefer an ‘equal mix of office-based and remote work’ or ‘mostly in office’.
