“No, [it’s not a good idea] definitely…
Parang ang hirap namang mag-impose (it seems hard to impose) that they should open their camera, right?” Lenovo Philippines President and General Manager Michael Ngan said at an online press briefing on Tuesday.
“Maybe, the manager or the direct supervisor can impose that… It depends on the company. But that’s one area that’s very hard to really impose in a work-from-home scenario,” he added.
He also noted that monitoring productivity has become a challenge for many companies during the pandemic crisis. “When they adopt the work-from-home or work-from-anywhere setup, the biggest challenge is really productivity.”
