The post When did you last attend a networking event? appeared first on Corporate Housing.

Australians have a unique set of business etiquette rules in comparison to other business cultures.

For example, we don’t mind the use of profanity in the office. We might be laid back, but being late is uncool. We prefer chit chat to start a business meeting and we socialise after work — a lot.

And while it may be second nature to partake in these rituals for those of us who are none the wiser, some of these conventions can be surprising to foreigners when they begin working in Australia.

Imagine how awesome it would be if your dog or cat could come to work with you.

You’d de-stress by petting him, she’d entertain you by walking across your keyboard, and you’d have something to talk about with that awkward co-worker who comes to your cubicle and doesn’t quite know how to say hello.

Some people don’t have to imagine, because their employers already allow pets at work! And some people don’t like the idea of it at all.

In most cases, allowing pets to come to work really means dogs, we even have National Take Your Dog to Work Day every year but there are companies that welcome birds, cats, and assorted other animal friends.

Like most variables in life, whether it’s a good or bad idea to allow pets in the workplace depends on the people and the environment. Click here to read the full artical – Scource Business.com

The post Pets In The Workplace- A Good or Bad Idea??? appeared first on Corporate Housing.

Traveling for business may seem glamorous—flying to new cities or across the globe. It can also be extremely stressful and taxing on your health. The top three triggers for stress when traveling can be grouped into three main areas, according to a study by CWT Travel Solutions Group (CWT).

1. Lost Time. It’s difficult, or downright impossible, to get work done while traveling, especially when you have a long flight. Many day-to-day business needs pile up while you are on the road, so when you return, you will need to “catch up” on work that you missed.
2. Unforeseen Events. Just thinking about the possibility of lost or delayed luggage, a delayed flight, or a missed connection can cause extreme anxiety for most business travelers.
3. A New Routine. It’s challenging to find time to exercise or stick to a healthy diet when you are on the road, which means many business travelers sacrifice their health while traveling. So how do you reduce and overcome these stresses click here to find out more. (source- Forbes)

The post How to reduce travel stress appeared first on Corporate Housing.

Different types of trips require different gear, and one of the biggest choices most of us make as we head off to the airport is the choice between packing everything into a backpack or a suitcase. They each have their strengths and weaknesses and are better suited for certain situations.
The choice between these two might seem arbitrary. But anyone who’s had to lug a roller suitcase for a kilometre down a dirt road from the train to a hotel, or who’s pulled a wrinkled suit out of a backpack right before a wedding, knows that the wrong choice can ruin a holiday or business trip.

I think it’s best to break this down into three categories: Suitcases (like a common carry-on roller bag), small backpacks that could fit underneath the seat, and larger backpacks that need to go in the overhead compartment. From there, it’s all about a few simple questions, such as how long your trip is, what you’ll be doing, what seasons you’ll run into, how much more travel you’ll do when you arrive, what the infrastructure is like at your destination, and how much you plan on bringing back with you.
