Productivity paranoia refers to the disconnect between employer and employee perceptions of productivity, an issue that has been more prevalent since the rise of remote work. That being said, one of the ways leaders can combat this issue is by making trust part of their company culture.

According to a September 2022 Microsoft survey of 20,006 global knowledge workers, 85% of leaders say the shift to hybrid work has made it hard to be confident that employees are being productive. If managers are still not convinced that employees can work productively outside the office, even after years of doing so, it suggests this sentiment will be extremely hard to shift. And yet, say experts, bosses will need to figure it out – maybe by reframing how they assess productivity – because it’s clear that for many companies, hybrid and remote are the future.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

Advice on post-interview questions
|
|
|
A current client has some exciting interviews coming up, and they reached out to me to brainstorm great questions to ask at the end of their conversations. They were especially curious about how to learn more about the reason the position was open, and asked me if it was appropriate to inquire if someone else was previously in the role. Here’s what I advised:
Instead of asking "was there someone previously in the position," reflect on your WHY behind that question. It’s none of your business if the previous employee was terminated or their personal reasons for exploring a new role. I imagine what you’re really trying to understand is what onboarding looks like and if there is someone well-versed in the role available to train you, or if you’ll be working on a well-established team versus a newly created one.
To learn more about learning on the job or organizational priorities, try these questions instead:
- What does onboarding look like?
- Will I be working on a new or existing team? Who are the people who will be able to share institutional knowledge with me? Is this a long-standing priority for the organization or a new one?
- Who are the major stakeholders I'll engage with regularly, both internal to the organization and external?
- What are the biggest priorities I will tackle in the first 30/60/90 days?
