Aussie Trivia Time! 🇦🇺 Did you know that Labour Day was created in Australia to celebrate workers winning the right to an 8-hour workday back in 1856? Workers marched through the streets under a famous banner that called for '8 Hours Work, 8 Hours Play, 8 Hours Rest' because they knew that life is meant to be enjoyed outside of the office! At Catalyst Central, we love looking at our workplace history because it reminds us that work-life balance is a proud, long-standing Aussie value.
