--- title: The Work from Home Phenomenon description: This week, my colleagues made some jokes about me having to work from home. My daughter was sick, and I really didn’t want to have her at the office when she wasn’t well. It was all good banter, but it got me thinking about my past positions and how inflexible they were. image: https://www.ausloans.com.au/hubfs/blog/The%20Work%20from%20Home%20Phenomenon%20(2).jpg --- [![AUSLOANS_Logo](https://www.ausloans.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/ausloan_2019/Images/Global/AUSLOANS_Logo.png?width=302&height=68&name=AUSLOANS_Logo.png "AUSLOANS_Logo")](https://www.ausloans.com.au) - [Home](https://www.ausloans.com.au/) - [About us](https://www.ausloans.com.au/about-us) - [Benefits](https://www.ausloans.com.au/home#benefits) - [Partner with Us](https://www.ausloans.com.au/partnerwithus) - [Contact Us](https://www.ausloans.com.au/contact-us) - [Press Releases](https://www.ausloans.com.au/media-releases) - [![phone call icon](https://www.ausloans.com.au/hubfs/ausloan_2019/Images/Global/phone-call-icon.png) 1800 277 768](tel:1800277768) - [About Us](https://www.ausloans.com.au/about-us) - [Our Values](https://www.ausloans.com.au/about-us#our-values) - [1800 Approved](https://www.ausloans.com.au/about-us#approved) - [Drive](https://www.ausloans.com.au/about-us#drive) - [Benefits](https://www.ausloans.com.au#benefits) - [Business & Support](https://www.ausloans.com.au/business-support) - [Training & Compliance](https://www.ausloans.com.au/compliance) - [Vehicle Procurement](https://www.ausloans.com.au/vehicle-procurement) - [Marketing Support](https://www.ausloans.com.au/marketing-support) - [Partner with Us](https://www.ausloans.com.au/partnerwithus) - [Become A Partner](https://www.ausloans.com.au/partnerwithus) - [Our Support Structure](https://www.ausloans.com.au/partnerwithus#support-structure) - [Blog](https://www.ausloans.com.au/recruitment) - [SME Solution](https://www.ausloans.com.au/zink-pos-customer-finance-solution-for-business) - [Broker Solution](https://www.ausloans.com.au/partnerwithus) - [Dealer Solution](https://www.ausloans.com.au/zink-customer-financing-platform-for-dealerships) - Member Logins - [Broker Login](http://1800approved.sharepoint.com/) - [Genius](https://geniussoftware.com.au/broker/index.html) - [Webmail](http://outlook.office365.com/owa/) - [Referral Partner Hub](https://www.ausloans.com.au/partner-hub) - [Contact Us](https://www.ausloans.com.au/contact-us) - [Press Releases](https://www.ausloans.com.au/media-releases) # Ausloans Blogs ### Lifestyle and finance articles made for you and your business!

There was after hours work and I was literally filling jobs on my laptop as I travelled to and from work. The whole job was 24/7 and when you’re 23 years old you just do your best to impress. ![The Work from Home Phenomenon (1)](https://www.ausloans.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/The%20Work%20from%20Home%20Phenomenon%20(1).jpg?width=560&name=The%20Work%20from%20Home%20Phenomenon%20(1).jpg) After a year, I joined a larger recruitment company that really helped me with training and development and the hours of work on my contract was 8 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday. This never once deterred me, I saw it as an opportunity and it really did expose me to so much that I look at that time with great fondness. This role saw me working in the construction industry and at times, I was starting at 6 am to meet new starters/clients on site and working right through to 6 pm on a regular basis. The burnout I experienced was massive after 3 years in recruitment. My absenteeism was high, I was overworked, unhealthy and there were days I couldn’t even bring myself to go to work.  This continued right through my career in the Recruitment Agency sector and when I look back, I appreciate what it’s developed in me personally, but the burnout was real.  ![The Work from Home Phenomenon (2)](https://www.ausloans.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/The%20Work%20from%20Home%20Phenomenon%20(2).jpg?width=560&name=The%20Work%20from%20Home%20Phenomenon%20(2).jpg) I’m glad this has been reviewed and love hearing colleagues telling me how much the industry has changed. Adopting a work/life balance philosophy can only benefit staff energy and mental health. Some companies have seen this shift as an opportunity to reduce rental costs by allowing staff to hot desks, access to cloud-based systems, and allowing staff to work from anywhere they feel productive. At Ausloans Finance, we are no different. We have and use Technology to maximize our staff work/life balance. It allows our staff to continue to deliver for our customers while they tend to their personal lives. Our Core Values and Mission helps us build trust in our staff to do the right thing and in return provide them with market leading commission structures, leads, early finish on a Friday, and regular performance incentives. The Tools we provide include Australia’s No1 CRM, large panel of lenders, tailored marketing and vehicle procurement. --- To find out more please contact me on [07 3088 2932](tel:0730882932).
