The majority of workers now have flexibility to leave early to do things like pick their children up from school, but just a quarter dare to "leave loudly". Despite almost two thirds of people saying their workplace had a flexible working policy, just 24 per cent felt they could leave loudly. Even among workers whose employers had an explicit flexible working policy, just 30 per cent felt empowered to leave loudly. Westpac introduced a leave loudly policy as part of its commitment to workplace flexibility. "We want our workers to leave loudly and proudly, without fear of judgement by their colleagues," she said.
