HOME IS WHERE THE WORK IS

摘要

As the world of work is constantly evolving and changing, employees are increasingly working remotely and the four walls of the traditional workplace are evaporating. Flexible working arrangements are becoming a feature of how we work and, in many ways, an expectation of the modern Australian employment relationship. Improvements in technology mean that working remotely ana from home is more doable and manageable than ever before. It is also increasingly evident that Australian employers are choosing to accommodate flexible working arrangements. For example, in 2017 the NSW Public Service Commission produced the 'Make Flexibility Count: Strategic Framework for the NSW Government Sector' report, which demonstrates a novel and progressive policy commitment to make all roles in the NSW Government sector flexible on the basis of "if not, why not" by the end of 2019. Additionally, the NSW Government has committed to providing flexible work hubs closer to where people live (outside of the Sydney CBD) that provide employees the option to work from different office locations and closer to home and schools.
