  • With recent declines in remote work and growing concerns about gender equity, the push for workplace flexibility remains critical as businesses navigate rising costs, workforce preferences and the risk of losing talent to more accommodating employers.

The article from SBS News discusses the anticipated shift in Australian work culture as 2025 approaches, with a focus on the potential return to office environments. It highlights the ongoing debate about remote versus office-based work, noting that while many employees have enjoyed the flexibility of working from home, there's a growing push from businesses for a return to the office to foster collaboration, culture, and productivity. The piece mentions a survey indicating that a significant number of companies plan to increase office attendance, with some mandating a full return. However, there's resistance from employees who value the work-life balance and productivity gains from remote work. The article also touches on the economic implications, like the impact on commercial real estate and urban planning, as well as the psychological and social aspects of returning to office life. It concludes by suggesting that 2025 might be a pivotal year where a hybrid model could become the norm, balancing the benefits of both remote and in-office work.
