The Importance of Trust and Flexibility in Remote Work
Trust and flexibility are essential for successful remote work. Managers should focus on outcomes rather than monitoring employees' every move. Employers who monitor their employees closely may experience productivity paranoia and foster a culture of distrust. On the other hand, employees using tools like mouse jigglers are often seeking more flexibility rather than trying to cheat the system. Both sides need to communicate and find a balance that allows for accountability without invasive surveillance.
