Employee benefits trends: The flexibility reset 

Flexibility is now business as usual, with 96% of Australian organisations reporting flexible work provisions and 89% supporting working from home according to our 2024 Australian Benefits Review (ABR). We’re also seeing a significant shift to part-time employment – even in senior executive and management roles.

With flexibility now the workplace norm, organisations are evolving their benefits to better support their people in moments that matter and build a positive work culture. Fifty-nine per cent of Australian employers now align their organisation’s internal culture with ‘work-life balance’. These organisations recognise their people have diverse responsibilities and commitments outside work, and are giving them the choice to manage their personal and professional life in a way that works for them.
