In this episode, I delve into the workplace trend of ‘task masking,’ where employees appear busy without being productive, particularly among Gen Z. With the return to office mandates, this phenomenon has become more noticeable. Is this solely a Gen Z issue or a symptom of outdated workplace expectations? But hold that thought- what about the rise of workplace surveillance technologies and their potential impact on employee trust? I explore how companies can create more meaningful, engaging work environments to counteract these trends.
