What will NSW’s return to office decision mean for the country?

The NSW Premier’s Department has issued a circular to government agencies saying it’s time for government employees to return to the office. The decision states agencies are expected to have flexible work polices that meet the ‘reasonable requests’ of employees. However, “the default arrangement is to work principally in an approved workplace, office or related site.” Employees wanting to work from home on a regular basis will need to provide reasons and get formal approval and agreement from agency heads, and all such arrangements must be recorded. Work from home approvals should also be for a defined period and regularly reviewed, the circular says. What does this decision mean, and will other states follow suit? Graham Wynn of Superior People Recruitment discusses this on TripleM radio network.
