Covid-19 and remote work opened our eyes to many things, one of which is that emphasis should be on deliverables, productivity, and KPIs, rather than hours spent at work. If one can reach KPI’s and deliverables in 30 hours a week instead of 40, why punish the employee? Let the focus be on output not on hours spent at work. We live in a world where we are all connected via email, slack, social media and in multiple time zones.  Let’s continue to work towards normalizing and freely sharing that personal commitments are just as important as the professional ones. If the employee can take a call or be working while their kids are in a sports class or if an employee is taking a call in the car, we should be accepting of the situation.
