Flexibility and work-life balance are behind Melbourne's slow return to the office, as new data shows less than half of CBD-based employees are back full-time.
Despite COVID-19 restrictions being lifted and businesses offering incentives for staff to work from the office, working from home is the preferred option across various sectors.
A survey by The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry found out of 88 businesses, 42 per cent of staff had returned to the office working one to two days each week and 25 per cent were back three to four.
