We didn't need to wait for a pandemic to realise that some
employers are more comfortable with the concept of remote working
than others. Whilst some organisations seamlessly transition from
co-location to online interaction, other companies prefer to stick
to the more traditional approaches of dedicated desk space and
working the nine to five.
One of the most common questions around this topic is, "How
can I be sure that my employees are really working when
working remotely?"
The honest reply to this question is that you can never be sure.
Remote working hinges on a trusting relationship between employer
and employee. It is a shift in mindset whereby the focus is on the
output and not the time seated at one's desk.
