It also considers the messaging emerging during the development of transitional arrangements as employees began to return to their usual workplace, in order to assess whether working from home will become 'the new normal'. This range of responses seemed less related to rates of COVID-19 infection across jurisdictions at the time, but rather indicated varying levels of acceptance or resistance to the practice of working from home. Prior to the pandemic, there was evidence of considerable resistance to working from home from some managers who had concerns about technology, compliance with employment regulation, and employees' productivity and performance (Williamson et al., 2018) . The continued take-up and normalisation of working from home will vary across and within jurisdictions, due to the institutional arrangements for public sector human resource management.	./cache/cord-031229-9hjhujv9.txt	./txt/cord-031229-9hjhujv9.txt
