Certainly, Ben Barnett, general manager EMEA at Monday.com, an international workflow management company, is no fan of presenteeism. “Just because you are in the office doesn’t mean you are necessarily working,” he said in an interview this week. Arguing that it was “reductive” or “binary” to think in terms of either working in the office or remotely, he said it was important for employers to “create the right frameworks and the right climate” for work to be done. “We are all adults and should be working to the same ends,” he added.

Last summer, the company’s London operation moved into a state -of-the-art building in the heart of the city that is designed to make people want to be there because Barnett and his colleagues believe that being together encourages the creativity and collaboration required. “Having an office space is conducive to highly productive work and particularly certain types of work,” he said. Employees are expected to organise themselves so that they are in the office on the same three days as colleagues, but there is flexibility, and a realization that measuring productivity can be complex. There is also a recognition that different roles will require different amounts of time in the office or with customers.
