HR software biz BambooHR surveyed more than 1,500 employees, a third of whom work in HR. The findings suggest the return to office movement has been a poorly-executed failure, but one particular figure stands out - a quarter of executives and a fifth of HR professionals hoped RTO mandates would result in staff leaving.
According to the report, most employees working remotely and in-person both feel the need to demonstrate productivity, which for more than a third of employees means being seen socializing and moving around the office. That intense need to be visible may actually be harming productivity, study author and BambooHR’s own head of HR Anita Grantham concluded in her findings.
A full 42 percent of employees who responded to the Bamboo survey said they show up solely to be seen by bosses and managers. If bosses think their presence in the office is making any difference to the amount of work getting done, the results indicate that’s not the case.
Ya but work quality from India and Philippines is pretty bad. They aren’t equal.
The bosses don’t care when 3 of them cost the same as 1 of u
Some do. The ones that don’t are garbage companies not worth the time to begin with. It depends heavily on the type of work you do. If your company can squeak by with shit quality work, then you probably don’t belong there to begin with.
You’re assuming 3 of them produce 33% or more compared to me.
In my experience, the math doesn’t add up and you just get what you paid for
That’s why you don’t fire the whole department, just implement a hiring freeze while your US staff train the Indian and Filipino staff.
My company has a large presence in India and exclusively hires there now as far as I know, but I will concede that the employees from there are very good in general. They’re actual employees though, not contractors. And there are a lot of issues that arise from the language barrier, timezones, management etc
