"Less than a month after Amazon announced employees would need to give up their
flexible work arrangements and return to the office full-time, new research has
reinforced the value of a flexible work culture.
The
2024 Employee Benefits Review, by consultancy firm Mercer, found 89% of
Australian organisations still offer the option of working from home, with the
average number of mandated office days stable at about three a week, the same
as last year.
In this era of limited pay growth, businesses are also increasingly leveraging
flexible work arrangements to attract and retain top talent, enhance employee
engagement and foster a positive workplace culture.
The research shows some Australian workers are even prepared to take a pay cut
for the sake of a more flexible work life. This and other findings conflict
with a renewed push by some big businesses to get employees back to the
office."
