“I never felt nervous about asking my leader if I could make the move from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast.
Leaders in our team care about the work getting done and not where you get it done from.
There’s a strong level of trust with senior leaders especially now we’re looking to expand our engineering teams to other major cities.
I plan to fly to Sydney and connect with the team every 6-8 weeks. I’ll also work from our Brisbane office once in a while so I can remain connected to other tech teams in between visits to Sydney”
Claire - Senior Manager, Engineering Performance
“I moved down to the South Coast fulfilling a lifelong dream of living near the beach and being closer to nature. I’m an amateur mountain biker and where I live now has some of the best trails in the country.
Not having to do the long commute has meant I'm around for school drop off and can spend more time with my two kids. I've also been able to start coaching our U8 soccer team and give back to my community.
Every Monday morning, my team and I kick off with a virtual chat about our weekend and our focus for the week. This helps us stay connected and ensures we have time for non-work related catch-ups. Moving forward, I see us continuing with hybrid working, mostly working from home and using the office for co-ordinated opportunities and experiences.”
