....Certainly, it is easy to see in the office if you walk around. However, let us be curious and ask ourselves what might be going on in the office.
If they are not at their desk, perhaps at someone else’s desk with them, does that mean they have stopped working? Probably not.
If someone is sat at their desk, with a spreadsheet open does that mean they are working? Perhaps they have YouTube or Spotify open, headphones on and excel open, but does that mean they are not working? Or they have a physical notebook open. Do any of these mean they are not working, probably not. ..Sin duda, es fácil de ver en la oficina si caminas alrededor. Sin embargo, seamos curiosos y pregúntemonos qué podría estar pasando en la oficina.
....Do any of these mean they are working though? No idea! The only way to know is to engage with the person or wait and see what the outcome (not output) is of their work. To see the outcome, you need an understanding of the type of work and the context of the desired outcome.
Note: Interestingly, if the outcome is not achieved is it because the leader / manager did not explain the context in the best manner for the individual contributor? ..¿Alguno de estos significa que están trabajando? ¡Ni idea! La única manera de saber es interactuar con la persona o esperar y ver cuál es el resultado (no de salida) de su trabajo. Para ver el resultado, necesita una comprensión del tipo de trabajo y el contexto del resultado deseado.
....Conclusion ..Conclusión ....
....No change here between office and remote!
Although we cannot physically go and stand behind the person if we do not trust them. If we do not trust them, why did we employ them? Lack of trust is a deeper issue, but not related to where the person is working. We need TRUST in both office and remote environments! ..¡No hay cambio aquí entre la oficina y el control remoto!
