Many people believe Australians enjoy a relaxed workplace culture. While there’s certainly some truth to this, there are also a few things that may surprise you.
5. Most Australians start their working
days at 8:30 am.
This doesn’t mean they finish early
though.
However, Australians generally have
more flexible working days than other
developed countries.
