Expert comment on flexible work arrangements quoted by Julia Abbondanza, SBS.
The importance of flexibility
Dr Zen Goh, senior lecturer for Monash University's Department of Management said creating an environment where employees can truly thrive should be an employer's priority for enticing employees back to the office.
"This requires intentionally crafting an organisational culture that supports employee autonomy and growth through well-designed policies, practices, and nurturing positive social relationships.
"While remote work naturally allowed employees to exercise flexibility at their discretion, employers must now actively develop alternative ways to maintain this sense of autonomy within the office setting," Goh said.
