highlights

• Two-thirds of staff [63%] prefer so-called "hybrid" work models
• Australian companies are saying such arrangements will only be available to about 40 % of staff
• The Australian Council of Trade Unions, stresses that if working from home does become a permanent fixture of the office environment, protections for employees are needed.
