Australia’s major banks want employees to spend at least half of their time in the office to create more opportunities for mentorship and informal learning.
“There [are] thousands that are coming in every day, [but] there [are] also thousands that are coming in less than one day,” Commonwealth Bank chief executive Matt Comyn told 2GB’s Ben Fordham.
the bank’s request that employees spend at least 50 per cent of their time in the office was not unreasonable“What we have seen quite clearly in our experience is that there [are] certain types of work that are done more effectively in person,” Mr Comyn said.“We see [that] people who are new to the organisation are more successful when they’re spending more of their time in the office.
“We need to train and develop our teams to be the best they can in supporting our customers and colleagues,” Mr McEwan told the. “This is hard to do when you don’t have a leader beside you, which is why I’ve asked our most senior leaders back into the office five days a week.”Reserve Bank of Australia governor Philip Lowe is increasingly concerned the recent acceleration in nominal wages growth could keep inflation higher for longer due to flatlining productivity.
Professor Wooden said research on the productivity benefits of working from home were mostly small scale, predating the pandemic and the widespread adoption of remote work.

Reserve Bank doing ‘all of the heavy lifting’ for Albanese governmentShadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham says through analysis of the 2023 federal budget; the Reserve Bank is doing “all of the heavy lifting” for the Albanese government. “We’ve been very clear in terms of trying to hold the government to account around their budget and the framing they’ve taken as to whether it is making a bad problem worse or whether they are actually tackling it,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. “Analysts have said that, at best, the Albanese government is neutral, many have said it was expansionary, none have said that it actually does anything to actually reduce inflation.”
