With remote work so prevalent, some companies now use electronic monitoring to determine how much time employees spend working. One field study, discussed in Harvard Business Review, concludes that the use of electronic monitoring is backfiring.
The researchers learned that when electronic monitoring was used, workers tended to put less effort into their work. They also determined that productivity and trust often are undermined by electronic monitoring.
Those being monitored had 5 times worse performance scores.
In Luke 10:1, we read, “The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.”
Jesus trusted his disciples and they performed miracles. Maybe we need to trust our employees as well. Monitor results, more than time.
