♦️Currently, Japan’s full attendance rate is 71%, much higher than the world average of 43%.
According to the results of this survey, the most common working style in Japan is “full attendance” at 71%, which is a very high percentage compared to the average of 43% in 11 countries around the world. On the other hand, only 1% of people work completely remotely, which is extremely low compared to the global average of 14%. Hybrid work is 22% in Japan, and the average for 11 countries around the world is 37%, indicating that the work style centered on coming to the office is still the mainstream in Japan.

Each company has a different environment, so the first step in creating a comfortable work environment is to ask employees what their wishes are.
