Did you hear? Employers' monitoring is backfiring. Many employers continue to closely monitor employees through methods like mouse tracking. This creates stress and encourages workers to maintain an "active" status on platforms like Teams or Slack, even when taking breaks, rather than allowing their status to turn yellow. Achievers Hannah Yardley highlights that this pressure can lead to counterproductive behaviors, like "simulating keyboard activity." Instead of fostering productivity, such monitoring increases anxiety and distrust among employees. To boost engagement and productivity, organizations should focus on creating a positive culture, recognizing employees, and promoting work-life balance through initiatives like extra days off and encouraging full use of PTO.
