The right to disconnect provides Australian workers with the ability to refuse work-related communication outside of their scheduled hours, aiming to restore work-life balance.
The March introduction of the right to disconnect laws follows a turbulent pandemic period when work often encroached upon personal life, creating stress and blurred boundaries.
Dr. Gabrielle Golding notes that the right to disconnect could significantly reduce unpaid overtime, thereby alleviating stress and burnout among employees.
This significant change in workplace policy highlights a societal shift towards prioritizing employee wellbeing and recognizes the importance of personal time against work demands.
