Remote work as a viable model seems to depend on one’s world of work view: do people show up as productive, motivated contributors only in the office; or, once on their own turf, do they devolve into nonproductive sham shows?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latter suspicion seems to be the overarching reason that “productivity surveillance” is the hot thing on the workplace landscape. Employer surveys (and customer reviews of just about any monitoring tech on the market) bear this out. With monitoring software, the invisible has become visible: employers can ensure that their remote employees remain productive and employees can work where they want. Everyone wins. Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
