The latest trends coming to your workplace - and why some bosses are pushing back

It’s estimated we spend a third of our life at work – with the average worker clocking a staggering 90,000 hours in employment over a lifetime. Covid lockdowns saw companies adapt to remote and flexible working practices, while schemes like four day weeks have gained traction globally. Some international companies though are pulling back or restricting employees from working at home, while one CEO has gone as far as to try and stop people leaving the building during work hours. So what is the best practice, and how do we adapt our workplaces for a changing world?  Today on The Front Page, we are joined by AUT associate professor and organisational psychologist Dr. Rachel Morrison to discuss the changing workforce.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
