WFH Policies
Updated regularly for new submissions and corrections
Last update: 13 March 2023
Based on anecdotal community feedback.
These policies have not been verified.
What's this about?
COVID-19 has come and (pretty much) gone, but WFH is at a crossroads.
Now that we are out of a global pandemic and things are returning back to "normal", a number of firms have started to update their WFH policies and are encouraging more people to return to the office. For some, this might be completely unpalatable, after having fully embraced remote working. But what is market standard?
This is where we come in. This year, we surveyed our community and received more than 2,400 responses covering the WFH policies/situations of a whopping 735 workplaces in corporate Australia.
If your company is missing or a policy is incorrect, we would love to hear from you!
