Proponents of remote work including tech giant Atlassian have raised concerns moves by most big companies to adopt hybrid work models may backfire by disadvantaging women and minority groups.
A survey by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald this week found an overwhelming majority of the nation’s biggest companies plan to adopt hybrid work models permanently, allowing office-based employees to work at least part of the week from home. Atlassian has taken things a step further, adopting a “work from anywhere” model, allowing its employees to work anywhere it has a corporate entity and in a timezone aligned with colleagues.
