Performance Measurement

Yet another example of wanton intrusion of personal space by employers coupled with the dubious goal of measuring performance. It is unclear what this passive monitoring achieves. It would be just as simple to render work devices inaccessible over the weekends so there is some space created between work and life. Similarly, incentives could be developed for focus on fitness and healthy lifestyle instead of non-stop monitoring by way of wearable devices. The elephant in the room is lack of focus on mental health. What could go a long way is finding ways to remove stigma associated with regular therapy - something everyone could benefit from. The idea is misbegotten, very easily gamed and abused. Needless to say, this is a very sad waste of resources by the institutions of higher learning noted as contributors to this research.
