Atlassian has announced its global staff of 5700 will be allowed to work from anywhere in the world, in a new policy announced in advance of its annual summit.
Workers will be expected to come into the office four times a year, though most have said they still plan to attend in person 50 per cent of the time.
“Talent still exists anywhere, it just doesn’t happen to need to exist within 50 kilometres of an existing office,” Atlassian co-founder and co-chief executive Scott Farquhar said.
Atlassian will let its employees work from anywhere, the $80 billion Australian tech giant has announced, representing its commitment to remote work well after the pandemic demands it.
Under its new “Team Anywhere” policy, the company’s 5700 global staff will be allowed to work from any location in the world — as long as it has a base there, they have a legal right to work there, and the time zone is broadly aligned with the rest of their team.
