With self-check-ins, visitors can quickly and easily register and get on with their visit, reducing stress and improving satisfaction.

Badges

Another important aspect of creating a great visitor experience is providing visitors with clear identification. This is especially important in larger buildings or offices, where it can be difficult for visitors to navigate and find their way around.

By providing visitors with badges, you can ensure that they are easily recognizable and can access the areas they need to visit.

With the help of a smart office system like ONES, you can print out badges once the visitor has finished the registration and provide visitors with a personalized and professional experience.

Maps

Smart office systems like ONES include advanced mapping features that allow you to create customized maps that are tailored to your specific needs. You can include information about the location of meeting rooms, restrooms, and other amenities, as well as real-time updates about the availability of these spaces.

Referring to the latest report by telecommunications and technology company Telstra, it shows that nearly 85% of APAC organizations are promoting hybrid work arrangements, and seven in 10 organizations are now recruiting talent from all locations and allowing hybrid work arrangements. 

Also, 74% of employees in APAC believe that they and their teams are more productive with flexible work arrangements. So why hybrid working has become the winner in the APAC region?

• Malaysia – 74%
• Singapore – 71%
• Indonesia – 84%
• Vietnam – 76%

Key factors that convert hybrid work to major trend in APAC

Recently, HRD (Human Resources Director) surveyed businesses around APAC about the processes and policies, and the business leaders explained that why they are implementing hybrid work and its benefits.

Providing more flexibility to work 

Implementing hybrid working provides flexibility for employees, which allows employees to choose where they work, “the office, home, or somewhere in between.” 

In a hybrid office, there has meeting rooms and hot desking with smart office system support, which allows the companies to reduce unnecessary space and rent, allowing employees to work at the place they wanted. 

Liz Moran, the director and HR business partner APJ, at software company New Relic, said they had implemented a “Flex First” work philosophy which is a hybrid working arrangement. Also, they understand flexibility is very important for their employees. 

Helping with staff retention and acquisition

Hybrid work provides flexibility to employees, which can satisfy employees’ needs for working flexibly. The reason why is this important is that flexible work has already become the core factor that can retain talents.

Based on a recent Swinburne University of Technology Report, 43% of Australian knowledge workers said they would consider leaving an employer that does not offer flexible working for one that does, rising to 46% in Sydney and Melbourne. Also, based on Cisco Global Hybrid Work Study 2022,  hybrid work is now preferred by many employees across markets in ASEAN.

“The Great Resignation has shown us that, overwhelmingly, employees are demanding flexible work arrangements – and they will change jobs to get them. We are also hearing from candidates that flexibility is a top priority,” said Moran.  

Combining Technology for Better Quality of Work 

Software company New Relic has invested in collaboration work tools to support the move to hybrid work. Their ‘Connections and Belonging’ hub also document when, where and how teams will work together.  

“The majority of our ‘Relics’ are choosing to work to a remote or hybrid schedule and the feedback has been positive,” said Moran.  

Therefore, working with technology has a positive impact, and the result of New Relic told us that implementing hybrid work is a smart choice.   

Establishing a positive office culture

Working in the office help to build a positive company culture, therefore a hybrid office provides flexibility and a friendly environment, such as co-meeting areas, so the staff can have enough conversations and gathering when they return to the office.  

“We always had an in-office culture prior to 2020 but our employees enjoyed working flexibly and so we decided to continue to provide that flexibility long after lockdowns,” Sidekicker co-founder Jacqui Bull mentioned.   

Many reports show that positive company culture can help a company to foster a sense of belonging among employees make employees more engaged in their work, and therefore increase their productivity.
