Since then, there have been many positive outcomes for employees, such as better work-life balance, lesser traveling time and improved productivity levels.
With flexible work arrangements (FWAs) seemingly the preferred mode now, companies are now redesigning the workplace according to and estimated ratio of 40% consisting of non-work areas and 60% dedicated to work areas to meet the new demands, habits and expectations of their workforce.
