Staff have to be in the office, it does not matter if they are more efficient

It seems that Google managers are ignoring the statistics which suggest the company workers are far more productive working from home.

Employees are waiting to hear whether their remote work plans will be approved but a recent survey of staff showed that they were far more productive working from home than commuting to the office every day.

Internal research at the Alphabet unit also showed that employees want more "collaboration and social connections" at work, according to Brian Welle, a human resources vice president.

Welle declined to provide exact figures but said "more than 75 per cent" of surveyed employees answered this way.

Senior managers in many companies are worried that if employees don’t come to the office, people might question what they do and its importance to the company. After all many companies pay a lot of money for someone to chair long tiresome meetings with someone who spouts management jargon about moving cheese and kicking the ball running.
