Attendance and Performance Monitoring in a Post-Pandemic Hybrid Work Setup: A Study of Selected Employees from the College of Engineering and Computer Technology at Wesleyan – Philippines and Network Operations Department of Globe Telecom Inc.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about dramatic changes to how we work, with hybrid setups—combining remote and on-site work—becoming the new normal. While this approach offers flexibility and a better work-life balance for many, it also introduces challenges, particularly in monitoring employee attendance and performance. This study explores how employees perceive attendance and performance monitoring in hybrid work environments, focusing on selected employees from the College of Engineering and Computer Technology at Wesleyan University-Philippines and Network Operations Department of Globe Telecom Inc. Using surveys from 33 respondents, we analyzed the data through statistical methods to uncover trends and relationships. The findings revealed a weak but positive link between years of service and satisfaction, showing that employees with more experience tend to feel more at ease with hybrid setups. There was also a significant connection between age and productivity, with employees aged 30–39 reporting the highest productivity levels. Additionally, satisfaction levels varied significantly among tenure groups, with mid-tenured employees expressing greater satisfaction than those newer to their roles. These insights emphasize the importance of tailored support for employees transitioning to hybrid work, flexible attendance policies, and better tools for communication and collaboration. While the study sheds light on critical areas for improvement, its small sample size limits the broader applicability of the findings. Future research should involve a larger, more diverse group and explore other factors, such as workplace culture and individual work styles, to fully understand what makes hybrid work successful.
