Accelerate productivity | Individual drivers impact employee performance

The cultural shift toward a hybrid workforce has raised many questions regards HR’s journey in adapting to new ways of working. A key part of this will be around maintaining employee performance and engagement.

It’s obvious that, with such a different landscape in the working world compared to the pre-COVID status quo, employers must seek to recognise the need to empower employees by adjusting the approach to performance management in the digital workplace.

However, whilst it may be presumed that productivity has slumped as a result of the pandemic, a Deloitte study from earlier this year found that a massive 55% of workers believe that their colleagues are actively more productive now than they were before lockdown started.

And whilst this may seem like positive news, it goes hand in hand with research from the ONS, which found that 59% of workers believe their work-life balance has been negatively impacted.
