๐ฅThey're not lazy because they're working from home.They're just lazy.I keep hearing this;
โTheyโre not engaged anymore.โ
โI canโt see what theyโre doing.โ
โRemote just isnโt working for our team.โ
But let me ask you this -
โณ Were they actually performing in the office?
โณ Or were they just visible?
โณ Did you ever have systems in place to track performance, or were you relying on vibes and presenteeism?
Because remote working didnโt break accountability.
It just exposed where there wasnโt any to begin with.
If someone canโt self-manage, thatโs a capability issue.
If someone isnโt clear on expectations, thatโs a leadership issue.
And if youโre still using proximity to measure performance -
Youโre setting yourself up for legal and reputational risk.
And did you even begin to consider gender equity?
Women, especially, face more scrutiny when working remotely.
Theyโre expected to be more โvisibleโ, even if theyโre delivering better results.
This hidden bias often results in unfair performance assessments and dampens progression opportunities.
This isnโt about giving everyone flexibility.
Itโs about setting standards that work regardless of location.
So, donโt have a remote working problem....
You have an accountability problem.
Hereโs what to do instead:โ Create output-based KPIs.Define what good looks like, even if you canโt see it happening.
โ Document expectations for remote/hybrid working.Yes, that means actual policies. Yes, they need to be gender- and disability-aware.
No, vibes donโt count.
โ Address capability and behaviour separately.If someoneโs not performing, remote work isnโt the scapegoat.
Start tracking outcomes, not assumptions.
๐ฃ Whatโs really behind your teamโs performance dip - location, or leadership?
