In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson delves into the concept of "fauxductivity" or faux productivity – the act of appearing busy even when you’re not accomplishing meaningful work. She explores how technological tools in today's remote and hybrid work environments foster this phenomenon, leading to burnout and eroded trust between managers and employees. By shifting focus from measuring input, like keystrokes and attendance, to measuring output, Dr. Anderson provides actionable steps to break free from this cycle. From prioritizing high-impact tasks to setting boundaries and communicating transparently, she offers practical strategies to cultivate real productivity and create a healthier workplace culture.
