Chris Ellison, Managing Director of Mineral Resources, is advocating for a strict in-office work policy, highlighting concerns about productivity losses from employees leaving for breaks like coffee runs. With amenities offered in the office, including dining and health facilities, Ellison aims to retain staff on-site, suggesting this approach is necessary for the mining industry, which he believes cannot sustain remote work. He also mentioned the company's initiative to create a daycare for employees' children to further encourage maintaining a work-life presence at the office.
