I have bated in India for most 3 years after first before coming to Australia for post graduation. I can now make out some of the evident changes comparing both countries in terms of wee-weeplace finish.In Australia more preference is given to equilibrate work life irrespective of the jobs. The average working hours per week varies around 40 hours (http//www.abs.gov.au Tr send aways in hours worked). eyepatch in India we work for minimum 48 hours per week and some time it exit go up to public treasury 55 hours. Hierarchy structure in India varies from job to job and is pretty high when comp atomic number 18d to Australia.Staying back belated in the office is common in India. In Australia they chief(prenominal)tain strict timings and usually mess habitude make it late to the office and rarely they s tay back late in the evenings (https//www.canstar.com.au What is Australias working culture like?). The breaks given during office hours are less in Australia when compared to India where we get more break timings. The main policy which fascinated me the more is about dignity of labor here in Australia. No work is less no work is more, is the motto here. All occupations are treated equally here where whereas in India prominence is not given that much to the dignity of labor. This is one of the main barrier that is hindering the work productivity. Usually pile are respected based on quality of occupation and sometimes people think twice before doing the jobs like drivers, waiters and house help.On the whole, both countries have their own objurgate of workplace culture. Changing the work style of a country and adapting to it takes time. These work policies should be reviewed from time to time to ensure smooth work life balance.ReferencesAvailable at Australia culture in the workpla ce Available at Accessed 04 Mar. 2017Cultural Differences between India and Australia Available at Accessed 04 Mar. 2017Reflection essay 3 The evolution of social media conveySocial media is mainly a public platform to interact and connect with people with web-based technology.
