🔍 Trust But Verify 🔍 In today's rapidly changing world, the principle of "Trust but Verify" has never been more relevant. Whether in our professional or personal lives, this balanced approach helps navigate the complexities of modern interactions and decision-making. 🔑 Trust is essential for building relationships, fostering teamwork, and driving collaboration. It’s the foundation upon which we connect and grow. 🔑 Verification ensures that trust is well-placed and decisions are informed. It’s about due diligence, confirming facts, and maintaining integrity in our actions. In an era where information flows freely and swiftly, combining trust with verification empowers us to act with confidence and clarity. It reminds us that while we should extend trust generously, we must also seek evidence and uphold standards of accountability. Let's embrace this dual approach to strengthen our professional engagements and personal connections. 🌟 #TrustButVerify #ProfessionalWisdom #Integrity #DecisionMaking #ModernWorkplace

The issue highlighted by Wells Fargo sheds light on a common challenge in today's remote/hybrid work model: changes in work ethics impacting productivity. It's crucial that employees fulfill their duties to merit their pay, ensuring positions are filled by those who value the opportunity. While termination may be necessary for non-performing employees, using keystroke counts as a productivity measure is flawed. Different roles require varying tasks, with strategic planning or client communication roles generating fewer keystrokes but holding equal importance. Evaluating based on task-oriented metrics is key to gauging actual contributions. Key points: - Employers should receive fair productivity for the pay provided. - Action, such as termination, is appropriate if responsibilities aren't met. - Keystroke counts don't accurately gauge productivity for all roles. - Task-oriented metrics offer a more precise assessment of employee contributions. - Balancing monitoring with effective systems and communication is crucial. This situation underscores the importance of a balanced approach to productivity monitoring, recognizing both effort and results. #work #ethics #culture #integrity #workplace #wellsfargo #Profitability #employeesurveillance #employees #productivity #humanresources

That was a pretty bold move by Wells Fargo 😯 According to a media report, Wells Fargo fired more than a dozen employees from its wealth and investment management division in May after the bank investigated claims that they were faking work. Why? The employees in question were found to be using a tool known as "mouse jigglers." This involved manipulating their computer's cursor to give the appearance of activity, even when they were not at their desks. This tactic presumably kept their status green, indicating they were present and working. As a recruiter, I know this incident raises important questions about flexibility at work and productivity tracking. Is it right for organizations to require employees to return to the office? Such measures can prevent deceptive practices and ensure accountability. On the other hand, flexibility at work has proven benefits, including higher job satisfaction. While it's crucial to maintain trust and integrity within the workforce, Clear communication, setting realistic expectations, and investing in reliable productivity tools can help bridge the gap between work flexibility and organizational accountability. What are your thoughts on this? #remotework #recruitment
