'Millions of Aussie workers could soon have a major leg up to remain working
from home (WFH) amid a push for people to return to the office. The Fair Work
Commission announced an investigation into whether a WFH precedent should be
set for clerical workers in the private sector.
There has been a major campaign over the last few years for workers to return
to the office and interact with their colleagues, with the NSW government
recently ending WFH arrangements for all public sector workers. But HR expert
Lara Nercessian told
Yahoo Finance a Fair Work ruling could chuck a major
spanner in the works.
"A lot of businesses and organisations are going to be quite apprehensive in
terms of the way that this unfolds," she said.
"After their significant efforts and attempts to get people back into the
office full-time, I think a lot of organisations may see it as undoing the work
that they've done."
Recent research from Robert Half found about two in five Aussie employees are
now expected to head into the office five days per week.
The vast majority of Aussie companies (86 per cent) require staff to come into
the office at least once a week, with five days the most common arrangement,
followed by three days a week (17 per cent) and four days (12 per cent).'
