Why working from home doesn’t work for many 


THERE is growing evidence that formal workplaces in Malaysia are feeling the pressure from employees and broader generational shifts to offer more flexible work arrangements, including some days working from home (WFH).

Recent studies show that over 70% of Malaysian employees prefer hybrid or flexible work arrangements, viewing them as an essential part of modern employment. This trend is especially strong among Gen Z workers, whose commitment to an employer is closely tied to the level of flexibility offered. If they don’t get it, they’re more likely to leave.
