This Ai Group podcast considers the ongoing impacts of remote working arrangements in Australian workplaces following the lifting of many COVID-19 health orders and restrictions around the country. Topics covered include:

• The types of contemporary work arrangements emerging – in particular the role of hybrid working and the return to the office for many businesses and employees.
• The rights and obligations employers have in relation to determining how and where work is performed.
• Recent cases from the Courts and Tribunals where the employee and employer have different views about remote working – and lessons for employers arising from these cases.
• Essential considerations for employers in planning how its workforce should work – including having a strategy around ways of working.

Nicola is an industrial and employment lawyer who works on formulating public policy responses to support productive, inclusive and contemporary workplaces for Australian industry.
