Should we lodge a dispute re Insignia’s attack on WFH?

In a move that Insignia employees have described as ‘underhanded’ and ‘disingenuous’, Insignia is attempting to enforce a 60% in-office mandate for People Leaders by tying it to performance reviews and bonuses.

You may have seen us speaking out about this in the media. It’s an outrageous act of bad faith and potentially breaches our Enterprise Agreement, which requires six months’ notice before office attendance requirements can be increased.

An urgent member meeting will be held on 16 July to discuss how we respond to this announcement, including lodging a formal dispute with Insignia. To ensure you have a say in how we respond, please register for your preferred meeting.

What exactly is Insignia trying to do?

Under Insignia’s hybrid and flexible working policy, our minimum office attendance requirement remains at 40%.

However, from 1 July, Insignia says all People Leaders must achieve 60% in-office attendance over the financial year to achieve a ‘demonstrates’ in performance and remuneration reviews.

We bargain terms and conditions into our enterprise agreements in good faith. This attempt at backdoor changes that materially impact individuals’ work/life balance is unacceptable.

It’s a slippery slope, which, if implemented, sets a dangerous precedent for all staff at Insignia.
