Post-pandemic in Australia, many sectors have experienced widespread adoption of remote work practices (thanks largely to tech itself). From virtual meetings to shared drives, there’s a lot that organisations across Australia can thank tech professionals for.
By its very nature, the tech sector not only engineers these kinds of technologies, it embraces them. In turn, workers can essentially work from anywhere if their company allows it.
In an industry that’s plagued with skills shortages, tech candidates find themselves in a good position to work with their employer to negotiate a work environment that suits their lifestyle preferences. With employers seeking star talent, flexibility, autonomy, and work-life balance can often be provided for the right candidate, under the right circumstances.
One of the clear benefits of working in tech is the ability to work from home or, customise an alternative work schedule that makes work-life balance truly possible. As employees, this kind of flexibility can leave us feeling more satisfied, more productive, and more engaged at work.
