Clearly this is not necessarily the case as people working fewer hours may be equally productive whilst those working longer hours may be achieving little. The question managers should be asking themselves is how productive are their employees and therefore what success criteria should they be using to determine the value of an individual’s performance. Where employees are working longer hours shouldn’t line managers also be asking why they need to do so in order to achieve whatever is being asked of them? Does the employee have the skills and ability to deliver on their objectives or are the expectations more than can be reasonably delivered without working extra time.
