Hybrid working has become the new normal in Australia, according to research that suggests this is more good than bad.
Matthew Hood has settled into a routine that has become the new normal for most Australian office workers: he splits his week between his home and the office.
And although one in four said they expected staff to be asked to work from the office more frequently, 19 per cent thought the opposite, saying they expected staff would increase their remote working. And 8 per cent said they were unsure.But this latest survey, conducted by experience management platform Qualtrics between September 11 and October 14, suggests the benefits of hybrid working outweigh its downsides.
For example, Mr Hood said his hybrid working schedule allowed him to do the school drop-off and attend other school-related events.Of those who work remotely more frequently today than they did before the pandemic, 72 per cent said this had improved their wellbeing, compared to 9 per cent who said it had worsened it, while 67 per cent said it had helped them manage their workload, compared to just 9 per cent who thought the opposite.
