As the debate continues about how work from home impacts productivity and the economy, new research from the Committee for Economic Development has found those that do - are saving an estimated $5,300 a year.


Key Points
  • The topic of working from home has become a point of contention, with the coalition vowing to bring public servants back to the office full time, if it won government, before quickly backflipping.
  • Some major companies, both here and overseas,  are making similar moves to ban or restrict working from home arrangements.
  • Flexible working arrangements don't seem to be going away, with more than one-third of Australians still regularly working from home.
