Hard truth coming in: The reason it doesn't work for your company is simply poor management (don't take it personally). What you actually measured is the ability of yourself and the rest of your managers to lead your teams in a situation when actual leadership is required. You see most "managers" aren't really managing anything. "Coordinating" might be a better word. The problem is that coordinating is really just "managing without leadership", and in a WFH environment coordination alone isn't enough. You need people driving your teams, not sitting shotgun with the map reading off directions. I think the most revealing question is a simple one: What metrics did you come up with to measure the productivity of your managers (and yourself) during this time? None? Of course not... You've probably heard the phrase that "managers are force-multipliers!". Does that apply when the multiplier is less than 1? I am not disputing your results or even your conclusion, but it's important to know why you got the results you did. And even more important is accurately identifying the appropriate policy going forward: With your current management team you cannot continue with a WFH policy.
