I spoke at two conferences last week, and all the attendees were smart, dedicated, and hard-working. They are also struggling with leading organizations that are trying to retain great talent, be flexible, be empathetic, and promote happy workplaces.
One of the major questions they have is:
How can I help my managers be fair while holding their people accountable when some people work in the office and others are working from home?
It is a significant problem because managers are no longer comparing apples to apples. People working in the workplace are doing things that people at home are not, and vice versa. The comparison is no longer the same. People who used to do the same job as the person sitting next to them may no longer be doing that same job.
The solution is to judge performance based on results, and not just time at work. https://productiveleaders.com/2023/09/21/10-ways-to-lead-remote-and-in-person-employees-more-effectively/
