Balancing Trust and Productivity in the Era of Remote Work
As remote and hybrid work grows, businesses face a tough choice: track employee activity or trust their output. While tools like keystroke loggers and screen recorders proliferate, they risk creating a culture of surveillance, stress, and distrust. Measuring activity doesn’t equal measuring productivity. Instead, businesses should focus on outcomes, clear KPIs, and consistent expectations across all work environments. A strong, trust-based culture fosters motivation and retention far better than micromanagement. Investing in people, not just monitoring tools, is the smarter path forward.
