RESEARCH REPORTGreater Tokyo Company Survey on Work Styles
and the Workplace | August 2020
Capturing the ever-changing situation with data

September 18, 2020

Following the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in spring 2020, many companies and office
workers were forced to reconsider their work styles as the Japanese government recommended companies tointroduce off-peak commuting and telework. The restrictions of staying at home as much as possible andworking without physical contact with others seem to have almost forcibly promoted working from home andother forms of telework. This has stimulated discussions about the workplace, which had hitherto been carriedout in the context of work style reforms.
Since 2016, Xymax Real Estate Institute (hereinafter, “Xymax REI”) has conducted nationwide Metropolitan
Areas Office Demand Surveys on a semi-annual basis to visualize companies’ office demand. The spring 2020
survey was carried out between June 4 and June 16, not long after the state of emergency was lifted, andincluded additional questions on work styles and the workplace under the corona crisis, in addition to the regularquestions on office demand. The results of the regular questions and the additional questions were released asreports on July 29, 2020*1 and July 15, 2020,*2 respectively. The surveys revealed that companies were having a
hard time considering future workplace strategies, with some companies claiming they were not sure of the bestbalance between coming to the office and telework.
Based on the idea that timely dissemination of information would be extremely helpful amid rapidly changing
situations due to COVID-19, Xymax REI carried out a special survey of companies in the Greater Tokyo area
between August 19 and August 31 about the current state, issues and strategies of work styles under the corona
crisis. This report covers the results of the survey. Since the target respondents differ from those of the officedemand survey in June and many new questions are included, a time-series comparison from June to August
was done for only a portion of the questions and is listed at the end of the report as a reference.

Main Findings
1. Use of the officeAround 80% of the companies have kept the percentage of employees coming to the office to work
lower than before the corona pandemic.

While the target percentage of employees coming to the office and the current actual percentage
were less than 50% among more than 40% of the companies, nearly 80% of the companies intended
to increase the rate of employees coming to the office to more than 50% in the future.



The most popular rule concerning coming to the office was “Recommend off-peak commuting”(66.0%), followed by “Decide according to the work, such as the department or job type” (50.0%)
and “Each department decides its own rules” (43.9%).

2. Implementation of teleworkAround 90% of the companies have introduced a work-from-home policy. About half of suchcompanies offered the policy to all employees.



Around 40% of the companies have introduced a satellite office.

3. Work styles and operation of the workplaceWhile many companies’ initiatives assumed employees coming to the office, such as “Recommend
off-peak commuting” (72.2%) and “Enforce thorough anti-infectious disease measures such as
ventilation and disinfection” (68.8%), efforts to promote telework were also taken, including“Enhance internet network and increase provision of IT devices assuming telework” (58.4%).

The major issues in operating the workplace were those stemming from telework, such as“Management is difficult in telework (business, attendance, evaluation, etc.)” (42.3%) and “Limited
availability of electronic means for authorization, etc. (custom of using seals)” (41.8%).

4. Post-corona work styles
More companies favored coming to the office (39.1%) than telework (33.0%) for after the pandemic.



In terms of office size, companies that wished to downsize (30.4%) substantially outnumbered thosethat wished to expand (3.2%).



As for future intentions toward the workplace, the most popular reply was “Use both the main officeand telework” (54.1%).

RESEARCH REPORT｜Xymax Real Estate Institute

1. Use of the Office
When we asked the percentage of the companies’ employees currently coming to the office to work, around
80% of the companies had kept the percentage lower than before the corona pandemic (sum of “Controlling
the percentage of employees coming to the office to have zero workers in the office as much as possible”(13.8%) and “Controlling the percentage of employees coming to the office to a lower level than before thepandemic” (65.4%)) (Figure 1). On the other hand, a certain number of companies required or recommended
employees to come to the office (7.0%) or did not impose any restrictions in particular (13.8%).
Figure 1: Controlling the Percentage of Employees Coming to the Office (n=586)

We then asked the companies that replied in Figure 1 that they either controlled the percentage of employees
coming to the office to have zero workers in the office as much as possible or to a lower level than before thepandemic about their rules or target percentage of employees coming to the office (“target percentage”). We
also asked all companies the current percentage of employees coming to the office (“current percentage”) andthe target percentage of employees coming to the office after the pandemic has subsided (“future intention”).
With “100%” defined as all employees coming to the office, we grouped the replies into the following fourgroups: “0%,” “More than 0%, less than 50%,” “50% or more, less than 100%” and “100%” (Figure 2). While morethan 40% of the companies had less than 50% in both the target percentage and the current percentage, themost popular percentage in future intention was “50% or more, less than 100%” (57.5%), indicating that, together
with “100%” (18.9%), nearly 80% of the companies intended to raise the percentage to 50% or more after corona.
In terms of breakdown in increments of 10%, the target percentages that stood out were “30% or more, lessthan 40%” (24.6%) and “50% or more, less than 60%” (26.9%). However, there were differences between thecurrent percentage in all groups, which indicate that there are discrepancies between the target and the reality(Figure 3). In terms of future intentions, the most popular percentage was “50% or more, less than 60%” (23.4%),
which reveals that around a quarter of the companies intends to reduce the percentage of employees coming
to the office after the pandemic to a half of the percentage before the pandemic (Figure 4). On the other hand,some companies intended to have their employees return to the office completely (“100%” (18.9%)).

Figure 4: Histogram of Future Intention of Percentage of Employees Coming to the Office (n=586)

As for rules concerning coming to the office, the most popular rule was “Recommend off-peak commuting”(66.0%), followed by “Decide according to the work, such as the department or job type” (50.0%) and “Eachdepartment decides its own rules” (43.9%) (Figure 5). Many companies are flexible in their rules on allowing
employees coming to the office, such as according to the department or job type, instead of enforcing a single
rule across the board.
In addition, replies such as “We had adopted flex time but abolished the core time following the pandemic”
and “Employees come to the office as needed on their own judgment” suggest that many companies areexperiencing a transition from a work style where all employees come to the office and start work at the sametime to work styles not bound by place or time in the wake of the pandemic.

Figure 5: Rules on Employees Coming to the Office (Multiple Answer; n=586)

Under such circumstances, we asked companies which job type involved a higher rate of employees coming
to the office. “Administration, HR, accounting” was the top job type by a considerable margin (57.7%), followedby “Clerical work, reception, secretary” (22.1%) and “Corporate management, planning” (20.6%) (Figure 6). There
are differences in the percentage of employees coming to the office depending on the job type.

2. Implementation of Telework
1. Working from home
As for companies’ work-from-home situation, nearly 90% of the companies continued a work-from-homepolicy to this day (sum of “Had introduced from before the pandemic” (11.4%), “Had introduced from before
the pandemic and enhanced/expanded in the wake of the pandemic” (34.6%) and “Introduced a policy following
the pandemic and continue to offer it” (41.3%)) (Figure 7). Companies that introduced a policy orenhanced/expanded it in the wake of the pandemic accounted for more than 70% of all companies, indicatingthat the pandemic boosted the spread of working from home.
Figure 7: Situation of Work-From-Home Policy (n=586)

We asked companies that introduced a work-from-home policy about the percentage of employees eligible
for the policy and that of those actually using the policy, and grouped the replies into “100%,” “50% or more,less than 100%,” “More than 0%, less than 50%” and “0%” (Figure 8). As for the percentage of those eligible forthe policy, around half of the companies replied “100%” (46.5%). Together with “50% or more, less than 100%”(40.2%), as much as 90% of all companies allowed 50% of their employees or more to work from home. As forthe actual users of the policy, more than 70% of the companies replied that 50% of their employees or moreused the policy (sum of “100%” (25.6%) and “50% or more, less than 100%” (48.4%)), indicating that the policy
is not only in place but is actually used. In terms of breakdown in increments of 10%, “100%” was the top reply
for both eligible and user employees (Figure 9).

RESEARCH REPORT｜Xymax Real Estate Institute
Figure 9: Percentages of Employees Eligible for and Using Work-From-Home Policy (Histogram)We then asked companies that replied in Figure 7 that they introduced a work-from-home policy in the wakeof the pandemic but have abolished it (7.0%) about the reason for abolishing the policy. The top reasons
included “The state of emergency was lifted,” which indicate that working from home was a temporary measure
in response to the state of emergency, as well as inconveniences and difficulties experienced when actually
implementing working from home, such as “Work cannot be done efficiently from home” and “Business
management and personnel management is difficult.”

2. Satellite offices
As for satellite offices, around 40% of all companies had introduced such offices (sum of “Had introduced
from before the pandemic” (26.6%), “Had introduced from before the pandemic and enhanced/expanded themin the wake of the pandemic” (6.8%) and “Introduced following the pandemic and continue to offer them” (8.7%))(Figure 10). Although companies that have “Never introduced” a satellite office still account for a majority of
the companies (55.8%), the results indicate that satellite offices are spreading among companies, as suggestedby the fact that some had introduced or enhanced/expanded such offices following the pandemic.

Figure 11 shows the percentages of employees at companies that have introduced a satellite office who are
eligible for using the satellite office and those who are actually using it. Around half of the companies repliedthat 50% or more of their employees were eligible for using the satellite office (sum of “100%” (27.5%) and“More than 50%, less than 100%” (25.5%)). As for users of satellite offices, around 10% of the companies repliedthat 50% of their employees or more used them (sum of “100%” (2.4%) and “More than 50%, less than 100%”(5.3%)). In terms of breakdown in increments of 10%, “100%” was the top reply for eligible employees (27.5%),
while “More than 0%, less than 10%” was the most popular percentage for user employees (47.4%) (Figure 12).

Telework operation rules revealed efforts to promote telework, such as “The maximum usage frequency wasabolished following the pandemic” and “Telework is basically recommended, with employees required to cometo the office if needed.”

3. Work Styles and Operation of the Workplace
As for companies’ initiatives concerning their current work styles and the workplace, many companies were
engaged in initiatives that assumed employees coming to the office, such as “Recommend off-peak commuting”(72.2%), “Enforce thorough anti-infectious disease measures such as ventilation and disinfection” (68.8%) and“Ensure social distancing in the office (distance between desks, limiting number of users of meeting rooms, etc.)”(52.4%) (Figure 13). On the other hand, many companies were also engaged in efforts to promote telework,
including “Enhance internet network and provision of IT devices assuming telework” (58.4%) and “Promote
paperless” (43.7%).

RESEARCH REPORT｜Xymax Real Estate InstituteFurthermore, we asked companies that replied in Figure 13 that they were either considering expanding theoffice space (increase in floor space, relocation, opening sub-office, etc.) (3.1%) or considering downsizing theoffice space (decrease in floor space, relocation, cancelling sub-office, etc.) (21.8%) about their reason andpurpose (Figure 14, 15). The top reason for considering expanding was “To ensure social distancing” (61.1%),
followed by “In response to headcount increase” (44.4%) and “To improve comfortability” (33.3%). The top reason
for considering downsizing was “Less space required due to telework” (85.2%), followed by “To reduce officecosts” (74.2%) and “To review office layout (improve office space efficiency)” (39.8%).

Figure 15: Reason and Purpose of Downsizing Office Space (Multiple Answer; n=128)

Figure 16 shows companies’ issues and problems in workplace operation. The top issues were issues in
conducting telework, such as “Management is difficult in telework (business, attendance, evaluation, etc.)”(42.3%), “Limited availability of electronic means for authorization, etc. (custom of using seals)” (41.8%) and“Limited paperless processes” (39.1%). Many companies seem to be facing challenges in the design andoperation of workplace strategies since many of them had to quickly introduce telework measures such as
working from home in response to the pandemic.

4. Post-corona Work Styles
We asked the companies which work style—coming to the office or telework—they will focus on after the
pandemic has subsided. Companies that will focus on coming to the office (39.1%: sum of “Focus on coming tothe office” and “Somewhat focus on coming to the office”) slightly outnumbered companies that will focus on
telework (33.0%: sum of “Focus on telework” and “Somewhat focus on telework”) (Figure 17).
Figure 17: Degree of Focus on Coming to the Office or Telework after the Pandemic (n=586)

As for companies’ intentions on post-corona office sizes, companies that wished to downsize (30.4%)
significantly outweighed those that wished to expand (3.2%) (Figure 18). The office demand survey released inJune also showed that the percentage of companies intending to downsize exceeded that of companies
intending to expand for the first time since the start of the survey, indicating a change in office demand causedby the pandemic.
Figure 18: Intentions on Post-corona Office Size (n=586)

Finally, we asked the companies about their intentions toward work styles and the workplace for after the
pandemic (Figure 19). The top reply was “Use both the main office and telework” (54.1%), followed by “Promote
working from home and reduce the number of employees coming to the office” (37.7%), “Review office
operation to take employees’ health and anti-infectious disease measures into consideration (hygiene
management, human density, etc.)” (29.7%) and “Redesign the office to a flexible layout (hot desking, etc.)”(29.0%). These results point to companies’ shift from the traditional work style where everyone came to the main
office and worked for the designated amount of time to a flexible work style using telework.

5. Conclusion
Since spring 2020, companies have been forced to engage in different work styles from before to prevent the
spread of COVID-19, including restricting employees coming to the office or introducing telework and off-peak
commuting. It is no exaggeration to say that this has accelerated the hitherto gradual progress of work stylereforms.
This survey has revealed companies’ work styles and issues under the corona crisis and their intentions forafter the pandemic. While many companies have adopted telework including working from home, they arefacing challenges in business and attendance management, programs and corporate culture. How to solve theseissues will be key to the establishment of telework going forward. Xymax REI intends to continue publishingsurvey results that are beneficial to the market.

[Reference] Comparison with the Office Demand Survey in June
The following are comparisons of the comparable questions with the office demand survey carried out in June
(hereinafter, “June Survey”). The June Survey showed the results of all of Japan and of the 23 wards of Tokyo,
while the company survey introduced in this report covers the results of Greater Tokyo (Tokyo, Saitama,
Kanagawa and Chiba Prefectures). Since the target respondents and the target of aggregation differ, thefollowing are for reference use only.
