The role of employee insights to improve workforce productivity

Why do some businesses have happy, motivated, and productive teams while others deal with unhappy employees, high turnover, and falling performance, even when they offer great salaries and benefits?

Results-only work environment (ROWE): Benefits and challenges

What if your work schedule didn’t matter as long as you delivered results? Imagine a workplace where your performance is measured by what you accomplish rather than the number of hours you work.

For many employees, the line between workplace monitoring and surveillance is unclear.
