Sios Technology Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Nobuo Kita; hereinafter "Sios Technology") has conducted the "Survey on the Actual Outcomes and Challenges of Free Address Implementation 2026" targeting 550 executives and senior management personnel from domestic companies. As workstyles across society become increasingly diverse, more companies have recently adopted hybrid work models amid a return-to-office trend, leading to a higher rate of free address office adoption. Sios Technology has previously conducted surveys such as the "Free Address Workplace Survey" (April 2022) and the "Workplace Survey on Hybrid Work and Free Address Implementation" (March 2025), aiming to clarify actual conditions and challenges from the perspective of frontline workers. This latest survey shifts focus to executives and senior management—the decision-makers behind policy implementation. The purpose of this survey is to clarify the actual status regarding the objectives and outcomes of free address implementation, challenges arising before and after implementation along with efforts to resolve them, and the adoption status of seat management systems. 【Survey Summary】 The survey revealed that approximately half of the companies have implemented free address offices. However, it also highlighted a gap between initial expectations and post-implementation experiences—for example, many companies lack proper means to measure seat utilization rates, and desired outcomes such as improved communication have not fully materialized. In contrast, companies that introduced seat management systems alongside free address setups reported benefits such as improved operational efficiency through visibility into employee presence and seat utilization, as well as enhanced collaboration, indicating that data-driven operations contribute to resolving these challenges. 【Survey Results (Selected Highlights)】 1.
