"Announcing the directive to work “primarily in an approved office”, NSW
Premier Chris Minns said overseas studies showed people were less productive
when working from home.

“There is a drop in mentorship. There is less of a sense of joint mission,” he
said. “This is about building up a culture in the public service.”

Having examined the impacts of working from home since the pandemic started, I
am not convinced.

With colleagues from the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at The
University of Sydney Business School, I have been monitoring the changing
incidence of working from home and its relationship to performance since the
start of the pandemic."
