Congratulations to Inspiring Vacations !
One feature of our hybrid model, among several wellbeing initiatives and flexible working practices, is ‘work from anywhere’ for some of the year. This was used recently by an employee with three months working in Europe, travelling the continent in between compressed working weeks.
We’re not the only ones: Google and KPMG are just a few global companies adopting a work from anywhere policy. As a business that’s open 24/7, these arrangements can align with business needs; team members in a different time zone work while head office staff in Melbourne are sleeping, keeping projects moving.
