Since March, both the Sydney and Melbourne offices have remained closed to the public, while Adelaide and Brisbane offices have also been forced to close their doors at varying times during the pandemic.

Prior to the decision to close the Sydney office, SuperConcepts said employees were surveyed for their opinions.

“A total of 50 per cent of all participants said they were in support of closing the office, 20 per cent did not have a strong view either way while less than 10 per cent were not in favour of permanently working from home,” it said.

SuperConcepts people and culture business partner Wade Burgmann said while the company is adopting flexible working arrangements on a permanent basis, there would still be the opportunity to work in the office environment.

“There are some roles that are better suited to an office environment and some people who thrive better under that model as well,” Mr Burgmann said.

“We’re not completely removing the option to work in the office environment because some people value the interactions you have in that setting and it’s really important to them.”

SuperConcepts general manager, operations and customer service, Kevin Sudlow said while there is still no certainty over COVID-19 and 2021, the company hopes to reopen its Sydney and Melbourne offices to clients in the near future.

“That is certainly the goal we are working towards and we are keenly monitoring all government and health advice so that we can aim for our offices to reopen to the public sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we saw an opportunity to use this time to undertake this relocation during a period of minimal disruption,” Mr Sudlow said.
