Working away from the office

In this module, you’ll learn the essentials for working away from the office, including key guidance for both managers and staff.

We have taken lessons from working from home during COVID to modify the way we work into the future.  With a large number of APS employees undertaking various remote work arrangements, this course walks you through the fundamentals of working away from the office.

By supporting new ways of working, we aim to enhance performance, connection and wellbeing through flexible working arrangements. 

You should consider the module in the context of your agency’s policies and procedures.
