“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.

    Who on earth wants more people on the road?

    Everyone should be against mandatory rto especially those that cannot work remotely and have to commute, such as labourers.

      Wealthy corporations want you to spend money (car, bus, train, real estate). How is this still not obvious to you?

        Yes, obviously there are vested interests as you mentioned that would like things as they were, the question is why would you think it’s in your interest to publicly declare it as a vote winning talking point?

          Because their constituents are all blue collar workers who can’t work from home, who already resent people who work from home.

          Seriously, that’s how every blue collar worker I know of has acted when hearing about RTO.
