Law firm Herbert Smith Freehills has found 37 per cent of Australian companies plan to pay employees differently if they choose to work from home, while 83 per cent expect their staff to spend more time in the office over the next two years.

The firm's"Future of Work" survey, which quizzed 500"key decision makers" on workplace issues, was released on Monday and reinforced the trend back toward office work seen since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

About 38 per cent of Australian businesses also reported they now expected employees to"earn" the right to work from home, viewing the flexibility as a reward for consistent effort. However, that figure was down more than 15 per cent since 2021, reinforcing the idea many companies are moving away from plans for more flexible workplaces.

Despite this, HSF found businesses were still facing"significant" pushback from employees when trying to mandate returns to the office, with different organisations taking different approaches to luring back staff. "There's only a handful of organisations mandating a full return to the workplace, and that's being met with a significant amount of resistance."
