Resolution Life Australasia supports virtual working, and our enduring primary place of work continues to be "virtual" with the physical office and home office used interchangeably.

We recognise that our workers can contribute and connect equally regardless of where they are located, and we have seen and experienced the wellbeing and benefits that come from working at home.

This means some of us work at home most of the time, in the office most of the time or a balanced mix.
