Hybrid work arrangements are popular these days for many reasons — and one of them is that they can save workers thousands each year.
A new survey by the tech conglomerate Cisco — which was conducted this year among more than 6,000 respondents from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines — showed that 86% of workers saved money by working partly from home in the past year.
Average savings reached more than $7,500 a year, with 85% of respondents saying they believe they can maintain these savings over the long term through hybrid work schedules.
This may be why “only 5% said that they wanted to go back fully to the office,” said said Bee Kheng Tay, the president of Cisco for Southeast Asia.
