Employee absence is costing the economy more than 4 billion dollars each year.
But a recent study of 4,000 hybrid workers by International Workplace Group showed 36% of workers take fewer sick days if they work from home for some of the week.
Hybrid working - and the option of flexible workspaces - is a worldwide trend that is also being adopted here.
Lars Wittig is IWG's Senior VP for Asia and Pacific. He talks to Guyon about why companies are "right" sizing and why being flexible is the way of the future.
Lars says IWG has 18 flexible workspace locations across five cities in New Zealand. Photo: Thongrob Promchin
