How would you like to WFH forever?

Millions of us are currently working from home because of the pandemic, but could working from home become the new normal? Today our guest is Organisational Psychologist Amantha Imber.

In today's news headlines:

  • 62 countries back Australia’s call for a coronavirus enquiry
  • Western Australia, Tasmania opening up as Victoria reveals its roadmap
  • Police still not sure how AFL player was stabbed
  • Aussie shoppers flock to stores buying PJs, trackies, casual gear
  • It turns out Dr Google’s wrong most of the time

In today's Briefing we ask: If studies are showing that people get more done working from home, there’s higher job satisfaction and in some cases we took shorter breaks and had less sick days, why is it not the done thing? What has the pandemic has taught us about working from home? What are the biggest benefits and the downsides? How can we build and maintain our connections while WFH? Which businesses both at home and abroad are adopting working from home as being a normal part of the job?
