We know there is a disconnect between the views of employers and employees on the productivity of working from home. Employees are happier and believe they are more productive; their managers are not so sure.
Now it seems, that some of those employees are indulging in what has been termed ‘productivity theatre’. They make sure their mouse moves frequently - even if they are not working productively - in case their keystrokes are being monitored.
They also attend online meetings which do not directly involve them so managers can spot their participation.
However, this ‘presenteeism’ in not engagement - or not meaningful engagement anyway. These people are wasting time and being non-productive by trying to show themselves as productive.
If you suspect such activity amongst your staff, you need to act to fill this productivity gap.
