Working from home not going anywhere as in-office mandates fall
www.abc.net.au
"Return to office" demands appear to have peaked, with research noting a fall in mandates for a certain amount of in-person days. Five years from the start of the COVID pandemic, remote and hybrid models of working are now normalised.

“Return to office” demands may have peaked, with employers accepting remote, work-from-home and hybrid working, research from the Australian HR Institute has found.

A survey of human resources professionals shows employers’ demands for full-time staff to be in the office between three to five days are falling.

What’s next?

More than 80 per cent of survey respondents expect that hybrid working levels will increase or stay the same in the coming two years.

    I love diversity in the ND community! 🙂

    Is your workplace bustling?

    Not really, it’s actually pretty quiet even though it’s open space. But I am at my most productive when I have my headphones on and I listen either to instrumental music (post-rock or post-metal works great) or rainycafe.com

      This. Headphones and instrumental - anything with lyrics is too distracting - but classical works best for me. Give me some Tchaikovsky and I’ll pump code like a good monkey.
