According to a survey from Slack, "Road Warriors" make up 26% of Singapore's workforce.

Singaporean "Road Warriors" want to work away from their desk (91%) and work wherever they want in a way that fits their schedule (46%).

"Road Warriors" describe themselves as adaptable (85%), whilst their colleagues describe them as most likely to work from a new location (26%).
