1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a promotion, you should probably stop

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: working from home. A survey has been done by this

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: recruitment company, Robert Half. They've survey Kiwi employees and found

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent of us reckon there's a correlation between

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: being in the office and then getting a promotion. Meghan

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: Alexander from Robert Half is with us a Meghan, Hi, Heather,

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: how are you very well? Thank you? Are they right?

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: Do you have to turn up to get the job?

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 2: Well, there's definitely a perception of that, and so I

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: guess is that out of sight, out of mind mentality?

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: Now you can agree or disagree, but I guess a

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: lot of the feedback that comes back from the employer

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: side is that you can do tasks at home, but

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: you can't add to the culture of an organization. You

15
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: can't necessarily collaborate and build relationships, and those are key

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: parts to getting promotions.

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Is it that or is it actually that it just

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: looks lazy as well?

19
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Look, I think some people can absolutely do their job

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: from home. I think it does come down to job

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: dependent what your tasks are. But if you're looking for

22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: career and climbing the ladder, you know, relationship building is

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: pretty critical, and that's pretty hard when you're sitting at

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: home not talking to anybody.

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: Fifty four This is what I think is bizarre. Okay,

26
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: fifty four percent of the people you guys surveyed said

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: they would come into the office more if they were

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: told by their bosses that being in the office would

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: lead to a promotion. I mean, surely you should just

30
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: read the room. You don't need to be told.

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Well, and look, employers are telling staff that they need

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: to get back to offices. You know, there's been a

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: very clear and distinct change in the last eighteen months,

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: and so employers are really demanding this and making people

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: come back. So you know, and we did a comparable

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: survey in Australia and interestingly enough, seventy four percent of

37
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Australian employers believe the same thing, that there is a

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: correlation between promotion and being in the office. So you know,

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: if both parties are saying this, you would think common

40
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: sense would prevail, and.

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Yet we never cease to amaze and it doesn't prevail. Oh,

42
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: thank you, Meghan, I really appreciate a Meghan. Alexander Robert

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: half listen is as simple as do I need to

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: explain this to you. It's as simple as this. If

45
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: you can't be faft getting out of your dressing gown Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, you're not going to get a promotion.

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,320
