Many employers are still not budging at the moment.

My work is WFH for the next 2 weeks at this stage. They will review the situation again in a week or so.

The thing is 25% is strange for a workplace to implement. Once it gets back to 50% I feel alot more workplaces will return.

Workplaces have done their own risk assessments despite what Marshall is begging for now.

I'm not sure what the tipping point is to get people back into offices from a workplace view.

I don't think they have a choice as a lot of workers have made arrangements based on the school directive, it's certainly a concern at my place.

Wife’s work has gone back into the CBD at 25%. She is not one of those at this stage but wants to go back in but not if she has to wear a mask

From my experience, 50% was about the mark.

25% just seems like effort needed for no reason. If you have staff working from home and they can do so, you will gain very little from having 1 in 4 people in the office.

Office where my daughter works are doing a rotation roster between staff of working between home and the office, is working well and they are actually considering running with it full time, they are a world wide organisation and appears the way their overseas branches are now working

I'm home every second week for the foreseeable future.

Two of us are home in a bubble each week alternating between 2 teams, if something goes to shit in the office the pair at home can go in.

Some businesses, particularly larger ones who have people functioning at 100% at home would be considering never going back into the one space. They'll vacate the larger premises with higher rent, downsize and people will have a better work life balance, as long as you're still productive it's win win for everyone.

My company was actually surprised at the efficiency they found through these lockdowns. Hence they have made it option to WFH up to 3 days a week in normal situations. Obviously that's changed with the current WFH mandate but once full capacity is back that's what we will have as an option.

I don't mind a few days at home. It can be great to for Knuckling down a getting some reports out.

I agree with what you are saying about larger work places. Huge savings can be made with smaller rents.

Commercial property values in the CBD would be taking a massive hit...can't see the CBD ever getting back to how it used to

[jo172]

Amazed that people are still proposing, financing and constructing new office buildings. Seems the last place I'd want my money.

Spoke to a partner and Ernst and Young in the middle of 2020, right after the first WFH blast. He said that there was no drop off in productivity that quarter, meanwhile partners are shelling out close to a mill a year in rent.

Not hard to see where that trend will go

[Booney]

Unfortunately many of us would have some of our super tied into those high rise commercial developments that have been built in the last 3-5 years, particularly anyone with CBUS.

My understanding is it might be for health care workers or similar.

Has the 3rd one been reduced from 5 months in SA?
