Innovation and the Future of Work: an Asian Perspective

25 July 2023 / Report

Download Report

The pandemic introduced new ways of working in Asia, most notably hybrid and remote models, while the emergence of AI is already having an impact on how work gets done. Senior executives from Asia are faced with maintaining a culture of innovation in a hybrid work environment and integrating AI into everyday operations.

Trusted Insights for What's Ahead™

Attitudes to hybrid work vary significantly between regions in Asia and many fear that spending extended time away from the office will limit their ‘visibility’ and career prospects.
Online collaboration is not as effective as face-to-face contact in fostering creativity and innovation, but can aid innovation by breaking down organizational silos and fostering wider interterritorial networking.
Hybrid and remote work will lead to a permanent reduction in inter-regional business travel.
The impact of AI in the workplace is already leading to employee anxieties over job security and which career paths and analytical skills will be most relevant in the future.
A growing challenge is not only recruiting but meeting the job satisfaction and career progression expectations of Gen Z workers, who often prefer a hybrid or remote work option.
