Being one of the most rapidly growing nations across the globe in terms of work and welcoming International students and employees, Australia has become a popular hub for jobs. Hence, the guide to work culture prevalent in Australia is something you must get your hands on before moving to this wonderful country.
Here is a crisp guide to the prevalent Work Culture in Australian offices which shall help you in the long run:
1. Punctuality is a Must: Even though a few minutes here and there are fine while you start your day at the office, however, you must not skip the required time frame during scheduled meetings. Punctuality is something Australian workplaces swear by and you would not want to offend your team and bosses.
2. Teamwork: Australian work environment discourages a lot of hierarchy among teammates. You won't experience the claustrophobic environment under arrogant bosses ready to be flattered. Australian workers believe in teamwork, so, get ready to work in a fair environment practising equality.
3. Straightforward Attitude: Born out of the attribute of equality which sort of eliminates the over the top protocols meant to please bosses, workspaces in Australia value straightforwardness. You will be allowed to speak your mind and put your point across no matter which position you hold.
4. Informal Space: The Australian workspace is known for its informal setup and casual Language (even swears) which appreciates free-flowing conversations, not very strict dress culture and various such informal factors that are enough to get you comfortable here.
5. Perfect Personal and Professional Balance: The Australian offices are known for their wonderful (and much required) balance of personal professional life. With a maximum of 38 hours of working (majority), as an Australian employee, you will be given time to spend time with your family back at home.
6. Say Yes to Overtime: One little thing that Australian employers mind is when they are refused for overtime. An employee saying yes to (occasional) overtime will always be preferred over the one who denies. Remember, your answer clearly reflects your dedication and respect towards your work and the company.
All the very best!
