"A push is underway to get employees back into the office. The Commonwealth
Bank kick-started this conversation recently, with reports the organisation is
requiring staff to work at least half the week on-site.

A range of organisations are directing employees to return to the office. These
reportedly include Amazon, General Motors, Meta and Disney.

But although COVID lockdowns have ended, many employees want to continue to
work from home. Earlier research (by the lead author of this article) shows
working from home has particular benefits for employees with disability.

So there may be more at stake for workers with disability when it comes to
corporate mandates about where they do their job."
