Part 4/9:
Political Backlash and the Debate Over Work From Home Policies
A contentious political debate surrounds whether the Victorian government should intervene by mandating work-from-home policies. Some argue that requiring government and private sector employees to work remotely at least two days a week could hinder Victoria's growth prospects. Critics contend that such mandates could send the wrong message to both domestic and international investors, who might view the policy as a sign of instability or lack of confidence in the state’s economic future.
