Skip to main content. Australian Bureau of Statistics. Professor Frederik Anseel from the University of New South Wales called it an "invasive crisis", which has put Brisbane's CBD and the rest of the world on the brink of a workplace "paradigm shift". With the option for more autonomy and flexibility in the workplace, Professor Anseel said how much freedom employers give and employees take will be a lasting "future struggle" — one impacting many aspects of life.

In a monthly survey of office landlords, the Property Council of Australia has revealed today that only 60 per cent of Brisbane workers are back in the city — a drop in numbers that has not been seen since this time last year. The council's Jen Williams said Brisbane offices had been operating at about 70 per cent of pre-COVID levels for a year, until south-east Queensland's most recent shutdown.

Last month, 11 local government areas snapped into a lockdown that extended to eight days, after an outbreak of the contagious delta strain among several school communities. Ms Williams said until recently, "Brisbane had bounced back really fast from previous lockdowns. She said mandated stay-at-home orders and lasting restrictions like mask wearing has deterred many from the office, with workers adapting and growing to like remote work.

It has not always been that way — she was not offered remote arrangements before the pandemic and had previously left a job for the same reason, moving from Canberra to Brisbane in The Property Council has started monitoring "peak" and "low" days, showing many Brisbane workers are opting for similar arrangements.

Last month, just over 60 per cent of the pre-pandemic workforce was in the city on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and less than half showed for Monday and Friday. Ms May, like many employees, said she would not consider going fully remote as she still enjoyed "seeing people face to face" and the local coffee and breakfast on the way to the office.

She said changing worker habits could even impact something as large as the Olympic Games in Brisbane. Ms Williams said efforts needed to be made to ensure the CBD, "continues on a growth trajectory. The council ran a "Fridays in The City" campaign from May this year, offering workers numerous activities, events and incentives towards the end of the week.

It was now looking to vaccines as the solution, which could include vaccination hubs in the city centre or using vaccine IDs. University of Queensland organisational psychology lecturer Annabelle Neall said the long-term workplace changes brought on by the pandemic would remain for some time. Both Dr Neall and Professor Anseel referred to a paradigm shift in work culture — where employees have more flexibility. Professor Anseel said the workplace was moving away from "monitoring and even controlling" employees to individual arrangements where employees have "autonomy".

Ms Williams called for "leadership" within organisations to create a space where employees "actively choose to be part of". Dr Neall said firms need to highlight the social and collaborative benefits of in-person workplaces, with a renewed focus on the mental and physical health of employees. Mr Dordoni said the "buzz" of a Brisbane Friday night "is not there". Mr Dordoni urged workers to "remember the businesses [where] you used to hang out.
