Mineral Resources CEO Bans Coffee Runs to Boost Office Presence

Chris Ellison enforces strict in-office policies, providing extensive amenities to deter staff from leaving during work hours.

Ellison's policy includes a ban on working from home, aiming to increase productivity.
The Perth headquarters offers a restaurant, gym, and daycare to keep employees on-site.
Ellison argues that flexible working costs the industry too much and reduces efficiency.
The company's daycare charges significantly less than external providers to support working parents.
Ellison's stance contrasts with global trends toward remote and hybrid work models.
