With most of the workforce now working remotely, it brings into
focus an employer's ability to monitor and assess performance
of employees in a setting which is not the routine workplace. Some
of the more traditional 'clocking-in and out' type of
measurements are no longer feasible.
This does not necessarily mean that current practices and
methods for gauging performance must change, but the
'working-from-home' scenario does call for reconsideration
and calibration of existing practices to cater to the change in the
trend of working permanently, or for longer than usual durations
outside the office.
Our article considers the aspects to be borne in mind by an
employer while setting performance measures for employees and
assessing such performance.
