What will the right to disconnect mean for the way we work?

Once upon a time, work stayed at work and home was for partners, families, or our own sweet solitude.

But now, the same tools that have given us the flexibility to work from anywhere at any time, also mean that we can feel like we're expected to work from anywhere at any time.

Earlier this month, the federal government passed an amendment, negotiated for by the Greens, to give Australians the right to disconnect: to not be expected to answer unreasonable phone calls or emails outside our normal hours.

Is that feasible in the modern workplace? And what will it mean for the way we work?
