Australian workers seeking the option to work from home may find themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to promotions and pay rises. Many employers are prioritizing in-office attendance as essential for career progression, with a significant majority of bosses stating that physical presence in the office plays a crucial role in their decision-making. A large percentage of employees express willingness to return to the office for career benefits, while others opt to seek employment with more flexible arrangements. Overall, the trend indicates a clear shift in employer expectations towards physical workspace presence in 2023.
Aussie bosses are warning staff they will be overlooked for promotions and pay rises if they want to keep working from home. More employers are mandating staff return to the office.
Three in four Aussie employers have admitted office attendance 'significantly' impacts an employee's likelihood of a promotion. Only 13 percent of employers surveyed disagreed.
The 'out-of-sight, out-of-mind' effect is real. In-office presence increases visibility, fosters collaboration, and signals dedication and commitment, factors considered for promotions.
A whopping 93 percent of Aussie businesses have set in-office mandates this year, with 39 percent requiring employees to be in the office five days a week.
