Great news – Bendigo Bank has decided to remove its in-office attendance metric from its performance process!
This decision comes off the back of employees providing valuable feedback about the in-office attendance requirement via the recent SPARK survey, as well as our persistent feedback regarding the challenges of management’s rigid in-office mandate.
Already, we have seen some teams reassess and reduce their 60% in-office mandate to pursue an arrangement that considers employee feedback and gets the balance right.
Make no mistake – your voice contributed to this outcome. Bendigo Bank employees consistently reported that in-office attendance requirements contributed to increased commuting costs, were detrimental to work/life balance, and disrupted family and other caring arrangements. For too long, management insisted that working in the office would help with ‘collaboration’, while ignoring the reality of employees working in the office but still logging onto Teams meetings.
Congratulations on securing this terrific outcome, which is welcome news for all of us just before Christmas. We’ll be watching closely to ensure this commitment is fully implemented.
